Your 3rd Party Flat Roof Membrane Integrity Testing Specialists

For all your third-party Flat Roof Membrane integrity testing needs. We adhere to the stringent requirements of LABC, Premier Guarantee, and NHBC, ensuring your roof complies with British Standards 6229: 2018 and NHBC Chapter 7.1, regardless of whether it’s a new build or an existing structure.

NHBC Chapter 7.1.9 mandates visual and electronic testing of roofing membranes to confirm waterproof integrity before additional layers are applied. Our expert inspections catch and correct any faults, providing peace of mind and superior waterproofing.

Premier Guarantee section 7.11.15.2 highlights the necessity of independent third-party testing for green roofs, ensuring the integrity of the waterproof membrane before other components are installed.

We perform comprehensive roof surveys that review roof penetrations, terminations, equipment mounts, membrane conditions, perimeter flashing, and parapet wall coping. Our detailed inspections ensure all potential issues affecting watertightness are addressed.

While vacuum testing is effective for assessing off-site manufactured membrane seams, it is not recommended for verifying flat roof membrane integrity.

We understand each project is unique. Our extensive experience allows us to tailor our services to your specific needs, including providing 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

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.
