Building Pathology & Weathertightness Experts
Our Building Pathology investigations use both invasive and non-invasive techniques to determine causation and the extent of damage so we can provide considered advice on the remediation options.
As experienced Weathertightness Experts, we regularly investigate building defects including moisture ingress through roofs and walls to determine the cause of failure and the extent of damage to be repaired.
Reports are clear, technically rigorous and suitable for legal, insurance and design professionals whilst written in plain language to help lay-clients understand the complex matters being considered.
