We take pride in capturing key information, reporting and delivering evidence-based solutions that help university building owners and managers make informed building assets and maintenance decisions.
Our leak investigation testing and condition survey reports are comprehensive, using substrate and adhesion testing plus a variety of leak detection methods. We tailor access strategies whilst taking into account testing objectives/limitations for short and long-term property maintenance requirements. Supporting our clients with openness and clarity, we review and adapt each solution to the building’s needs.
In order to undertake remedial works it is vital to identify existing defects and the reasons for roof deterioration. Our team can provide you with a detailed picture of your building’s issues, risks and health, saving potentially large repair or restoration bills in the future. From halls of residence to laboratories, we can survey all types of roofs. We can also support you with a detailed leak investigation, roof corrosion treatment, repair and ongoing roof maintenance plan.

A 200,000 sq. ft., four-storey leisure venue in the heart of Nottingham city centre surrounded by major traffic routes needed work to be done overnight. The Building Transformation staff were flexible and able to work around dynamic operational issues completing the project within three weeks.

Broadgate Estates Ltd.
I am using Building Transformation’s work to help justify façade restoration works around our business. They have produced excellent presentations on what can be achieved and is a brilliant piece of informed marketing that is helping win people over in our business to take façade cleaning and restoration more seriously.
Edward Cooper Young
Building Transformation is always mindful of the environments they are working in and take the time to understand the restrictions of each site; whether they be physical or due to the client’s day to day activities. 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. I couldn’t recommend Building Transformation more highly.
Novotel Sheffield
I had a walk around today with Dave and am impressed with the work so far. Dave and the team have done a great job.
I’d certainly love to work with you in the future so perhaps before the job is completed we could look at what opportunities there are for the future.
Novotel Leeds
At this stage, from my point of view your team has been extremely professional, informing us of what was happening at all times and most importantly no disruption whatsoever to our guests and business.

The team at Building Transformation understood our challenge of finding a facade cleaning solution that would initially restore the glazing to its original state, protecting our building for years to come. Through intelligent and thorough testing right through to the full restoration of Block D, we have been very satisfied with the project management and delivery of the cleaning programme.
