Expert Roof Leak Detection
Water ingress can pose a significant threat to buildings and can have devastating impact on a building of any size. It’s imperative that potential leaks from the roof, facade or glazing are addressed as quickly as possible. For commercial, high rise or listed buildings, leaks can be highly disruptive and damaging if not handled appropriately leading to structural deterioration and operational disruption.
You might also be at risk of:
- material failure
- operational disruptions
- potential safety hazards
- dilapidations charges
- loss of building asset value
It’s essential you find a partner with the technical expertise to quickly detect, investigate, and repair the leak. The expert team at Building Transformation will be able to assist you with understanding the maintenance requirements of your building and effectively tackle the issues caused by leaks and water ingress.

They are extremely proactive and ensure that any issues are flagged to a client immediately, and when doing so always make sure a solution is provided.
