Protecting property with a roof condition survey

 

roof condition surveys from Thornton Consulting

Thornton Consulting has more than 30 years of roof consultancy experience, with a team of specialist consultants providing a comprehensive service with the use of advanced leak-detection technology for the property sector in the UK and Ireland.  A professional roof condition survey is a detailed assessment of a building's roof integrity, conducted by an experienced roofing consultant. It is an essential step in maintaining the integrity of any property, as the roof is one of the most critical components of a building's structure. Here are some of the benefits of obtaining a professional roof condition report:

1.   Identifying potential problems before they become serious:  A report on the roof integrity will reveal any issues that may exist in the waterproofing layer, such as leaks, structural damage, or other potential problems. By identifying these issues early, it is possible to prevent them from developing into more significant problems that can be costly and time-consuming to repair.

2.   Extending the lifespan of the roof: A well-maintained roof can last for many years. A roof integrity report provides an accurate assessment of the roof's stability, enabling property owners, facilities management and building re-furbishers to take appropriate steps to maintain the roof and extend its lifespan.

3.   Providing a baseline for future maintenance: A proficient roof condition report carried out by an experienced consultant will establish a baseline for future maintenance and budget allocation. It will outline the condition of the roof at the time of the assessment, providing a reference point for future inspections and repairs.

4.   Enhancing safety: A damaged roof can be a safety hazard, particularly if it is leaking or structurally compromised. Thornton Consulting will advise on any safety concerns enabling steps to be taken to address and resolve these issues.

5.   Reducing energy costs: A well-maintained roof can help reduce energy costs by preventing heat loss during the winter months and heat gain during the summer months. A diligent and precise assessment can identify any areas where insulation or ventilation may be inadequate, enabling the necessary measures to be put in place to improve energy efficiency.

The Thornton Consulting specialist consultants are commissioned to undertake surveys on an eclectic range of buildings, including large commercial facilities, office and apartment blocks and car parks. This ensures peace of mind, knowing that the building is safe, secure, and well-maintained.  Call us today on 01342 410508.

The value of electronic leak detection services

 

electronic leak detection - Thornton Consulting
 

An electronic leak detection service is an invaluable tool for the construction industry, facilities management and the broader property sector, as it provides a non-invasive and highly accurate method of detecting leaks in roofing and waterproofing systems. By utilising advanced electronic equipment, Thornton Consulting’s experienced leak detection operatives are able to pinpoint the exact location of a leak even in hard-to-reach areas, without causing any damage to the underlying structure.

One of the primary benefits of testing waterproofing membranes electronically is the ability to save time and money on repairs. Traditional leak detection methods often require invasive techniques, such as opening up large sections of roofing or waterproofing materials, or other areas of the structure in order to locate the source of the leak. This can result in extensive repair costs and significant downtime for businesses and property owners. Electronic leak detection on the other hand, allows for quick and accurate location of breaches in the roof waterproofing, often with minimal disruption to daily operations. Established in 1986, Thornton Consulting was a pioneer in this technique for clients throughout the UK and Ireland.

Another benefit is its high level of accuracy. By using specialised equipment, leak detection consultants are able to identify breaches in the roof waterproofing membrane with a high degree of precision. This means that repairs can be made quickly and efficiently, reducing the risk of further damage to the structure. This high-tech method also offers a more environmentally-friendly approach to leak detection as it avoids the waste of high volumes of water used in more traditional methods, such as flood testing. 

Electronic leak detection services can provide property owners, businesses, main contractors, Roofers and Architects with peace of mind. By identifying leaks before they become major issues, costly repairs and downtime can be avoided, ensuring the safety and integrity of the structure.

All Thornton Consulting operatives provide a highly professional service in line with the strong company ethics and core values. Their broad and prestigious client base is testament to an outstanding efficiency and competence in the field of leak detection.
