With decades of experience in waterproofing diagnostics, we’ve located leaks across every system type—tanking membranes, podium decks, flat roofs, and below-ground structures.
Our testing uses tracer gas, pressure decay methods, dye tests, and electronic integrity scanning. Architects, engineers, building owners, facility managers, and specialist contractors rely on our accuracy when precise leak location is needed. Our track record speaks to accuracy you can trust.
Independence matters. We have no ties to manufacturers or contractors, so our advice is genuinely impartial, and you’ll get solutions designed around your project's requirements.
Effective solutions start with proper diagnosis. We develop bespoke designs based on site analysis, risk assessment, and compliance requirements—tailored to your building's conditions and usage.
We have over sixty years of combined industry experience – and we've never had a claim made against our designs. This track record comes from our uncompromising standards.
Our expertise includes thorough understanding of British Standards and building regulations, ensuring your project achieves compliance.
We're backed by Professional Indemnity insurance up to £10m for complete peace of mind - to date, we've never had to use it.

Accurate leak detection prevents repeat failures by identifying actual problem locations before works begin. Testing confirms where membranes have failed, where penetrations leak, and where water enters.
Repairs based on this certainty succeed because they address confirmed problems, not assumptions. This eliminates the frustration, cost, and reputational damage of persistent leaks. If you’re in need of leak detection services, speak with our team to discuss how we can help.
Our years of experience allow us to find the best method of leak detection for your project. We use various methods including tracer gas detection, pressure testing, electronic scanning, or dye tests to find leaks and breaches quickly and accurately.
Our testing allows us to provide reports showing exactly where waterproofing has failed, supported by technical data and clear repair recommendations for effective remedial action. Speak with our team today to discuss our leak detection services.
