Case Study:
Expert Roof Inspection Uncovers Hidden Design Flaws

Project Overview

  • Location: East Cheshire
    Property: Modern Residential Apartment Block (under 10 years old)
    Service: Detailed Roof Inspection and Expert Reporting
  • About the Project

A residential management company asked us to help with ongoing water leaks in a high-end apartment block. Even though several contractors had tried to fix the problem before, the water issues from the roof covering kept happening, causing problems for the residents below.

What was the Problem?

The building has an EPDM roof, designed as a ‘cold roof’ system. However, some important components of the roof construction were missing or done incorrectly. This caused water to get in and damage the apartments inside. Because of past repairs that didn’t work, it was important for us to carefully check and find out exactly what was going wrong.

Project Requirement

How We Helped

We carried out a thorough inspection using specialist tools like thermal cameras to spot hidden leaks and moisture meters to measure dampness. We safely accessed both the roof surface and the space underneath to get the full picture.

By doing this, we were able to identify where the roof had been installed incorrectly and explain why the leaks kept occurring.

What We Delivered

We provided our client with a clear, detailed report showing the cause of the leaks and what needed to be fixed. This report was so well put together that the client’s legal team praised its thoroughness and professionalism.

We also helped by putting together a detailed plan and budget for the necessary repairs, finding competitive prices to help our client move forward confidently.

We’re continuing to work closely with the client and may support them through the repair process to make sure everything gets resolved properly.

Project Outcome

  • The clients gained a clear understanding of what was causing the leaks and received a professional report that supported their legal discussions.
  • We presented a practical plan with detailed cost estimates for fixing the roof, backed by ongoing expert support to bring the issue to a successful finish.
