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.

Rainscreen cladding repairs at Platinum Riverside, London
Basic cladding issue caused a serious water ingress at Platinum Riverside, Greenwich, London. 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 onwards 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 take the system apart wasn’t a big deal, however carry out this project safely via 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 cladding repair and installation or replacement is one of our basic services. When our abseiler team found the source of this leaking issue, followed the water marks on the inside of the cladding and soffit panel, and all dodgy mastic joint resealed around the window frame, the soffit could be replaced on a right way eventually. These cladding panels and window soffit required some adjustment and additional mastic sealant but the extra effort has brought a perfect result.
