DIAGNOSTIC INSPECTIONS FOR LEAKING GREEN ROOFS
Water showing inside a building does not necessarily reveal where it entered the roof. Green roof layers can conceal defects and allow water to travel before it becomes visible.
Green Roof Revival provides specialist diagnostic inspections for leaking green roofs. We assess the roof, identify the most likely cause or causes, and explain the practical routes to repair.
WHAT THE INSPECTION INCLUDES
- A brief triage call before the visit to understand the roof, the reported leak, access and urgency.
- A visual, non-destructive inspection of the green roof and relevant waterproofing details.
- Photographs of the roof, defects and areas of concern.
- An attempt to resolve a minor or obvious defect during the included visit time where this is safe and practical.
- A clear written report where further investigation or more substantial work is required.
- Recommended repair options, with remedial costs supplied separately.
The report belongs to you. You can ask Green Roof Revival to undertake the repairs, obtain competitive quotations from other contractors, or use the findings when speaking to an insurer, managing agent, original installer or other interested party.
WHO THIS SERVICE IS FOR
- Homeowners with water ingress beneath a green roof.
- Managing agents and facilities managers responsible for residential or commercial buildings.
- Architects, landscape contractors and main contractors investigating an existing problem.
- Clients whose previous repair has not stopped the leak.
- Owners who need a documented assessment before deciding how much of the roof to disturb.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
- Triage: Send us the property location, photographs and any useful information about the leak and roof construction.
- Proposal: We confirm the inspection scope, access requirements and fixed fee before booking.
- Inspection: We attend the roof and investigate the likely causes without unnecessary disturbance.
- Report: Where required, you receive a photographic report explaining the findings and recommended next steps.
- Repair: Straightforward repairs may be completed during the visit. Larger works are estimated and agreed separately.
REPAIR WITH MINIMUM WASTE
Where a repair requires green roof layers to be lifted, we aim to retain and reuse viable plants, substrate and components wherever practical. The objective is to correct the defect without replacing sound parts of the existing roof unnecessarily.
