Comprehensive 3rd Party Flat Roof Membrane Integrity Testing Services

We are the experts you can rely on for all your third-party integrity testing needs, in line with LABC, Premier Guarantee, and NHBC requirements. Our services ensure that your roof, whether a new construction or an existing structure, meets the criteria set forth in British Standards 6229: 2018 and NHBC Chapter 7.1.

Our team understands the critical importance of NHBC Chapter 7.1.9 (Green Roofs & Proprietary Roofs), which recommends that roofing membranes be visually inspected and electronically tested for waterproof integrity before additional layers are applied. This process helps identify and rectify faults, ensuring the highest standards of waterproofing.

Premier Guarantee Structural Warranties also emphasise the importance of independent third-party testing for roof coverings, especially green roofs. According to section 7.11.15.2, the waterproof membrane must be tested for integrity before any additional components are added.

Our comprehensive roof survey includes an evaluation of all roof penetrations, terminations, equipment mounts, membrane conditions, perimeter flashing, and parapet wall coping. We meticulously inspect all elements that could impact the building’s watertightness.

While vacuum testing of off-site manufactured membrane seams is an effective quality assessment method, it is not recommended for demonstrating the integrity of flat roofs.

We recognize the uniqueness of each project and bring our extensive experience to meet diverse roofing requirements. Our bespoke services include Health and Safety Plans, Risk Assessments, and Method Statements, culminating in a detailed O&M Manual upon project completion.

Flat Roof Leak Detection Frequently Asked Questions

Why do waterproofing membranes fail?

Waterproofing membranes usually fail due to poor Waterproofing Application Technique. The application of waterproofing membranes is labor-intensive that requires skilled applicators. If the material is not applied correctly, it may not form a proper seal or may not bond adequately to the surface. Additionally, applying too little or too much material can result in an uneven surface or coverage that may compromise the integrity of the waterproofing. Most failed waterproofing installation is due to poor workmanship – which accounts for 90% of waterproofing membrane's failure. However,

Are Flat Roof leak detection companies worth it?

When it comes to determining if a flat roof leak detection company is worth it, there is an upfront cost to hiring them, but it's important to consider the potential savings in the long run. Unaddressed leaks can lead to extensive water damage, mold growth, and structural issues that can be far more expensive to repair.

Do green roofs need maintenance?

For most extensive green roofs, two to three maintenance visits per year are advised. You'll need to check the structural integrity of the roof, drainage systems, irrigation systems and, of course, the health and vitality of the vegetative layer.

What is a flat roof integrity test?

Flat roof integrity testing refers to the process of assessing the structural soundness and performance of flat roofs. This testing is crucial to ensure that the roof can withstand various weather conditions and effectively protect the building beneath it.

How does electronic roof leak detection work?

Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) is a portable quality control testing procedure designed to locate discontinuities (breaches, holes, seam voids) in waterproofing and roofing membranes. ELD determines the location of the breaches by applying an electrical current to the surface of the exposed membrane.
