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.
Investigate retention and repair before replacing distinctive elements entirely.
Decide this before construction
Assess the existing detail before selecting products. Then coordinate insulation, ventilation and visible finishes so one improvement does not create an unexamined consequence elsewhere.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep a record of the differences between existing and renewed details. Include product information and locations of components that must remain accessible.
How to review the result
Compare the completed window arrangement with the approved drawing. Then check operation and adjoining internal finishes, including areas not visible in the 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.
