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.
Separate repair of existing material and complete replacement into distinct options.
Decide this before construction
Photograph retained details before dismantling. Check the dimensions of new components against the actual facade before production begins.
Allow for later maintenance
Record which elements are new, repaired or retained. This distinction helps identify the appropriate finish and maintenance method for each material later.
How to review the result
Review the result close up and from the garden. Check junctions and continuous lines; a neat individual joint says little about the coherence of the entire elevation.
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.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging leak detection & investigation?
Leak detection and repair are different scopes. Establish whether repair, opening-up and reinstating finishes are included.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
