Roof Surveys and Repairs
Lack of maintenance is well known to be the single biggest cause of water admission into buildings. The consequences of this can be the deterioration of a building, stock loss or even a health and safety risk. In many cases a costly roof replacement could have been easily avoided simply by regular roof or gutter maintenance on your commercial buildings.
Roof Surveys and Repairs
Here at Thorngate Fabrication, we offer roof surveys where we will send one our our expert team to assess the roof. The survey assesses a roof in terms of stability in addition to investigating whether there is water damage using moisture tests. All water outlets will be checked and debris from gutters will be removed! This ensures problems stay limited and the life of the roof is prolonged. After we have completed the survey, you will receive a written report on any issues which we will then advise you on how to move forwards providing you with a full specification on how we can complete the repairs.
