Cladding, building envelope test, water test
Water test (building envelope test) is a basic part of any cladding installation, cladding refurbishment or water ingress inspection projects. We can get the most reliable information instantly about any defects of the actual waterproofing by a water test, using a specially designed “spraying head” and adequately set water pressure, imitating the drifting heavy rain on the external surfaces of the cladding, coping, window frames, window sills and other joining surfaces of the cladding or the building. Sometimes, when the origin of the water ingress issue is not obvious, however the external inspection has been taken, then a water test can help to identify accurately the faulty building parts or joints. This simple testing method is a base of the general waterproofing certification process of any newly built buildings and cladding systems as well. Our abseiler team have spent countless hours with this working process, and identified numerous building errors throughout London already. We are always happy to help in any waterproofing issues, no matter that is a residential, commercial or an ongoing construction project.

Carrying out this abseiling cladding installation project on the edges of the balconies meant further difficulty as the missing proper and stable work positioning (what would be essential for this precise job) made it really complicated.

Abseiling rainscreen cladding repairs at Platinum Riverside, London
Abseiling rainscreen cladding repairs were completed at Platinum Riverside, Greenwich, London, where serious leaking issues were reported by the residents on numerous spots of the building. As this rainscreen cladding system has been installed on an inadequate way in the building process, we had to find the best and possible way for the repair. The reversed overlapping between the cladding panels led the cascading rainwater onto the wrongly set window soffit, and towards straight into the structures when heavy, drifting rain hit that elevation, causing a serious leaking issue inside. This “rainscreen” itself and the original drainage holes on this soffit panel have never work and function properly, so the repair was inevitable. As this issue couldn’t be repaired from inside, our professionals abseiler team was asked to take this cladding system apart and eliminate this serious leaking issue. Luckily all fixing were accessible from outside, so taking the system apart wasn’t a big deal, however carry out this project safely, using rope access on the 15th floor was little bit complicated and challenging. We have special and advanced techniques securing all cladding parts and decades of experience to carry out safely and efficiently these delicate operations. Rope access abseiling cladding repair and installation or replacement is one of our strengths. Our abseiler team found the source of this leaking issue, followed the watermarks on the inside of the cladding, sealed and repaired all sides, so the cladding parts and soffit could be replaced on a right way eventually. These cladding panels and window soffits required some extra adjustment and additional mastic sealing, but this extra effort has brought a perfect result eventually.
Abseiling cladding replacement and installation.

Repair Abseiling Limited core rope access abseiler team as sub-contractors took part in this project and installed the curved and flat aluminium panels onto this landmark building, where the bolt-on balconies meet the building structures.

Rope access cladding inspection, waterproofing
Rope access cladding inspection is coming up when any other access solutions are not possible to the faulty or dangerous cladding or rainscreen sections of the building. These operations happen mainly when loose and dangerous cladding parts, thermal insulation, fire barriers or leaking issue inspection and repairs would be required. The most common issue in our practice is, when water ingress experienced inside, causing internal damages of the building structures and surfaces, paintwork, flooring, …etc. Inspecting these faulty cladding parts of the systems, and setting up reliable diagnosis can be successfully carried out by experienced engineers only.
