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.
