It’s not often we get asked to look at a flat roof as large as this and unfortunately our free estimate wont cover the cost of surveying this roof and reporting back the findings.
This flat roof is a round 1500m2 and is covered with an old type flat roofing membrane with welded joints, this type of roof is still being fitted but we consider it to be one of the older generation flat roofing materials.
I’ve taken a walk around the inside of he building and seen where the water is penetrating, externally I have examined the roof and can see lots of design faults, I will be submitting a preliminary report suggesting that thermal imaging of the roof is undertaken to show where the insulation is saturated this will help identify the areas of the roof where the roof has taken on water, then we can scrutinise each joint and visually inspect the membrane for holes punchers or rips.
At this stage I think we will be cutting out all the wet insulation then repairing the roof using a liquid roofing systems such as GacoRoof.
