Design and Testing
Leak Detection Testing
An electronic leak detection survey is a proven and reliable method of locating flat roof leaks. Surveys are carried out on the roof itself without causing any damage to the roof surface. Our certified and trained surveyors will identify the location of all leak sites and detail these in a clear and concise report so that repairs can be easily carried out.
During the survey, our surveyors will systematically scan the entire roof surface, paying close attention to areas prone to leaks such as seams, flashings, and roof penetrations. The electronic equipment used is sensitive enough to detect even the tiniest amounts of moisture or water accumulation.
Once the leak sites are identified, our surveyors will record their exact locations and provide a detailed report. This report will include photos and descriptions of each leak site, as well as any recommended repairs or actions to be taken.
With the information provided in the report, repairs can be easily carried out with minimal disruption to your daily operations. By addressing the leaks promptly, you can prevent further damage to your roof and potentially expensive repairs down the line.
Drone Surveys
If you have a project which is difficult to access, SMDT can provide drone surveys.
A drone roof survey is a process in which one of our experienced and qualified operators flies an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) around a roof to capture high-quality video and photos.
The collated evidence can then be assessed to identify any damage or areas of concern.
Drone surveys have revolutionised the way we assess difficult-to-access projects. These surveys involve the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to capture high-quality video and photos, allowing us to closely examine roofs for any signs of damage or areas that require attention. With the skills and expertise of our experienced operators, we can effectively navigate these drones around the roof to ensure comprehensive coverage.
Tapered Insulation Design
Tapered insulation features a precise, pre-shaped slope that directs rainwater efficiently from your flat roof, preventing ponding and damage.
Offering an almost invisible incline, tapered insulation provides subtle yet effective drainage for optimal flat roof performance.
U-Value Calculations
At SMDT we utilise advanced software and our expert knowledge to deliver precise U-value calculations for industrial and commercial properties, helping you reduce energy costs, improve thermal comfort, and make informed investment decisions for a sustainable future.
The future of U-value calculations holds exciting prospects for the construction industry. As technology continues to advance, there are several developments on the horizon that will revolutionise how we calculate and improve U-values in buildings.
One area that shows great promise is the use of advanced modeling software. Currently, professionals rely on labor-intensive manual calculations to determine U-values. However, with sophisticated software programs, these calculations can be done much more efficiently and accurately. These programs can quickly analyze building materials, insulation types, and other factors to calculate the U-value of a structure. This not only saves time but also reduces the chances of human error in the calculations.

Condensation Calculations
Our comprehensive Condensation Risk Analysis employs advanced calculations to quantify potential condensation issues within your property, followed by tailored recommendations for risk mitigation.
Condensation is a common problem that can occur within buildings, leading to issues such as dampness, mold growth, and damage to the structural integrity of the property. To effectively tackle this problem, it is crucial to conduct a comprehensive Condensation Risk Analysis that utilizes advanced calculations.
Our Condensation Risk Analysis employs cutting-edge techniques and calculations to assess the potential for condensation within your property. We take into account various factors such as temperature differentials, humidity levels, building materials, and ventilation systems. By analyzing these variables, we can accurately determine the likelihood of condensation occurring in different areas of your property.
