Commercial and industrial flat roofs are everywhere! 

According to reports, thousands of millions of square feet of flat roof have been and still are being installed every year. 

When it comes to the building maintenance plan, flat roofs often get overlooked until a leak causes water egress and can result in severe damage to structure, building fabrics . It presents Health & Safety issues, and in some cases results in a building shutdown.

The financial consequences can be very damaging, in fact, 45%-50% of all new roofs develop serious problems within one year of installation. 

So, flat roof leak prevention and detection is highly recommended to make sure that there are no hidden cracks that can cause severe problems.

The common sources of roof problems are:

·  Poor workmanship – 50%

·  Poor design – 20%

·  Poor maintenance – 15%

·  Material failures – 10%

The Home Owner is often overlooked when carrying out leak detection surveys due to the size of the flat roof, it is often applied in construction to Extensions, Loft rooms etc. 

In some cases all the property will be covered by a flat roof. 

We realise that a property purchase is the single largest investment a person ever makes, We believe it should be treated the same as any other building.
