Expert 3rd Party Flat Roof Membrane Integrity Testing

We are your go-to team for comprehensive third-party Flat Roof Membrane integrity testing, adhering to LABC, Premier Guarantee, and NHBC standards. Whether dealing with new constructions or existing buildings, we ensure compliance with British Standards 6229: 2018 and NHBC Chapter 7.1 guidelines.

NHBC Chapter 7.1.9 emphasises the need for visual and electronic waterproof integrity testing of roofing membranes before additional layers are applied. Our rigorous inspection process identifies and addresses faults, ensuring robust waterproofing.

Premier Guarantee’s section 7.11.15.2 also requires third-party integrity testing for green roofs before any other components are added, underscoring the importance of independent verification.

Our thorough roof surveys include detailed inspections of roof penetrations, terminations, equipment mounts, membrane conditions, perimeter flashing, and parapet wall coping. We focus on identifying any issues that could affect your building’s watertightness.

While vacuum testing is a useful quality assessment for off-site manufactured membrane seams, it is not recommended for flat roof integrity testing.

We offer tailored services to meet your unique project requirements and provide complete Health and Safety Plans, Risk Assessments, and Method Statements, resulting in a comprehensive O&M Manual upon completion.

Flat Roof Leak Detection Frequently Asked Questions

What is the major disadvantage of having a flat roof?

The most major disadvantage of having a flat roof is the drainage or lack thereof. Flat roofs do have a slight slope built in to them that drains the water, but it is not nearly as efficiently as a pitched roof. The rainwater tends to remain on your flat roof and form a puddle, which can lead to possible leaks or material damage.

Which problem are green roofs most likely to solve?

Problems which green roofs are most likely to solve include: Providing shade, removing heat from the air, and reducing the temperature of the roof surface and surrounding air. Using green roofs in cities or other built environments with limited vegetation can moderate the heat island effect, particularly during the day.

Why do waterproofing membranes fail?

Waterproofing membranes generally fail due to poor Waterproofing Application Technique 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.

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.

How often should you reseal a flat roof?

You should reseal a flat roof every five years. It's important to seal flat roofs as a pre-emptive measure instead of waiting for leaks or ponding. Any signs of leakage, ponding, or structural damage indicate your roof needs coating. But even if you don't notice such signs, a flat roof should be sealed every five years to safeguard it from water damage.
