Surveying
Expert commercial & industrial roof surveys that give you the information you need to plan maintenance, refurbishment, or new build projects with confidence.
Know exactly what's happening above your heads
Poor roof condition is one of the most costly and disruptive problems a building owner or facilities manager can face. Yet most issues develop silently — unseen until they become expensive emergencies.
Gradient's surveying team conducts thorough commercial and industrial roof surveys that cut through the uncertainty. We identify problems early, document them clearly, and give you the actionable intelligence you need - whether you're planning reactive repairs, a scheduled refurbishment, or a full new build.
Every survey is carried out by experienced professionals and delivered as a detailed written report with photographic evidence, priority grading, and clear recommendations.
Every critical issue - documented
Our surveyors are trained to spot the full spectrum of flat roof failure modes, from the obvious to the hidden.
Visible defects and moisture concerns
The surveyor looks for visible signs of deterioration, including defective laps, splits, blistering, damaged membrane areas and failed upstands. Where possible, these observations can be considered alongside any known history of leaks or water ingress.
Drainage performance
Visible drainage issues such as blocked outlets, inadequate falls and areas of standing water (ponding) can be identified. These issues can contribute to premature deterioration of the waterproofing system if left unresolved..
Thermal performance
The surveyor can identify visible information about the existing roof build-up where available, but determining the actual condition and thermal performance of the insulation may require further investigation. Core samples and other intrusive testing can help establish the existing build-up, moisture content and insulation levels, allowing a more detailed assessment against current requirements.
Roof and edge details
The surveyor can identify visible signs of movement, deterioration or damage around parapets, perimeter details and other key roof interfaces. Where more detailed investigation is required, further assessment by the membrane manufacturer or specialist roofing contractor may be recommended.
