Effective and proactive roof condition surveys

Roof Condition Surveys from Thornton Consulting Group

How confident are you that the integrity of your roof area is secure from water ingress or general deterioration, especially on an ageing roof? Thornton Consulting employs a highly skilled and experienced team of Field Testers, providing a cost-effective and comprehensive roof condition survey for clients throughout the UK and Ireland. This service ensures that property owners and facilities managers have an accurate audit of the current resilience and the estimated lifespan of an existing roof. This can be of significant value when forecasting the budget for maintenance or roof replacement.

Commercial and large residential blocks benefit considerably from scheduled roof condition surveys, where the roofing structure serves more than solely protection from the outside elements. For example, contractors may require access to maintain rooftop equipment such as water tanks, plant or air-conditioning units.  Regular inspection and remedial maintenance when issues are detected, is invaluable to ensure the area is free of breaches and safeguarded for work to take place.

Flat roof condition surveys aren’t confined to weathered roofing systems. New-build properties can benefit greatly from addressing any potential problems identified before the project is signed-off, or with reassurance that the integrity of the newly installed roof is secure.

Thornton Consulting utilise various combinations of test techniques to confirm the integrity of the whole roof span, surveying the waterproofing system and identifying any areas of weakness or concern. This is a valuable resource for preserving the serviceable life of a roof, enabling the appropriate remedial works to be carried out to prevent water ingress into the property. A bespoke service is provided to meet the specific requirements of the property owner, specific building structure, or facilities management.

The inclusion of an annual roof condition survey into a scheduled maintenance plan provides peace of mind that the building is secure and remains serviceable, protecting the long-term property investment. Call us today on +44 (0)1342 410508 or use the Contact Form to get in touch.
