What this work involves
Collect photographs, circumstances and previous repair details. Determine which investigation method suits the pipes, roof or facade.
- Symptoms and leak history
- Investigation method
- Report and repair proposal
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Establish the cause and extent of deterioration before choosing a repair product.
Decide this before construction
Select the material early enough to design edges and fixings around it. Review a sample in its intended location before placing the full order.
Allow for later maintenance
Create a maintenance record for each material, including access points and product information. Base the first inspection on the chosen system and actual exposure.
How to review the result
Assess variation against the agreed sample and product information. Distinguish natural differences from damage or an incorrectly executed junction.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on investigation time, access, method and follow-up work. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for leak detection & investigation. Identify the elements that should remain.

The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
