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.
