Water ingress, damp, and façade deterioration can quickly escalate into major maintenance and safety concerns if left unresolved.

RAM Building Consultancy recently completed a comprehensive damp, mould, façade, and glazing survey at this multi-storey commercial property in London, featuring glazed curtain walling, masonry cladding, and basement plant areas.

Our survey identified a range of defects including:

• Active water ingress and elevated moisture levels
• Damp staining and failed internal finishes
• Defective glazing gaskets and detached metal trims
• Loose railing fixings and façade defects
• Localised stone cladding deterioration and spalling

Using non-intrusive investigation methods and condition-rated reporting, we provided the client with a clear, prioritised schedule of remedial actions to support both immediate repairs and long-term asset management.

The project highlights the importance of proactive building inspections in identifying hidden defects, protecting building performance, and reducing long-term repair costs.

At RAM Building Consultancy, we help clients make informed decisions through detailed building pathology, façade inspections, and condition surveys across commercial and residential assets.

Flat roof leaks rarely appear without warning. The signs are often there long before water starts dripping inside.

From damp patches and bubbling paint to ponding water and failed flashings, early detection can prevent costly repairs, operational disruption, and long-term structural damage.

At RAM Building Consultancy, our qualified engineers use advanced diagnostics including Dynamic Leak Investigation (DLI®), intrusive condition surveys, thermal imaging, drone surveys, moisture mapping, and electronic leak detection to identify the true source of water ingress. No guesswork, just precision-led solutions.

Whether your roof needs a localised repair, refurbishment, or full replacement, we provide evidence-based recommendations that save time, money, and future disruption.

Don’t wait for a small leak to become a major problem.

Contact RAM Building Consultancy today for expert flat roof diagnostics and repair solutions.

📢 Project Update | SEN School Expansion Approved 📢

We’re pleased to share that Planning Approval has now been secured for a new extension at an existing all-through SEN school, with works programmed to start and complete within 2026. 👏

The project will deliver:
✅ A new Life Skills Room
✅ Additional classroom facilities
✅ New accessible toilet provision

Designed with sustainability in mind, the scheme includes a blue/green attenuating flat roof with sedum and gravel finish to support surface water management and meet sustainability targets. The new building will also feature two-tone brick slip finishes and powder-coated grey aluminium double glazed windows to complement the existing school buildings.

Challenges:
• Limited space and options to construct a new building highlighted with our Feasibility study, plus space for contractors.
• Numerous surveys required to aid design of new building including CCTV drainage, Geotechnical, buried services survey, topographical and tree surveys.
• Constructing close to existing structures including boundary walls and main building.
• Minimising disturbance to pupils during works and proposal to use utilise holiday period.
• Tight timeframe to obtain Planning permission and complete works in time for new term.

Despite these challenges the team has worked collaboratively to develop a practical and sensitive solution.

We’re looking forward to seeing works progress later this year. 🚧

RAM recently completed a comprehensive programme of roof condition surveys and defect inspections across 21 roof areas spanning two hospital locations.

The surveys covered a range of roof types, including pitched roofs, flat roofing systems, and solar PV roof installations, providing the client with a detailed understanding of the current condition and performance of each asset.

Our inspections involved close visual assessment of roof coverings, waterproofing systems, drainage arrangements, roof-mounted equipment, and associated details to identify defects, deterioration, and areas requiring maintenance or remedial intervention.

📋 Survey deliverables included:

✅ Detailed roof condition assessments
✅ Photographic defect recording and analysis
✅ Identification of active and potential failure points
✅ Prioritised remedial recommendations
✅ Estimated remaining service life expectancy for each roof area

The information gathered enables informed asset management planning, helping the client prioritise maintenance budgets, reduce the risk of water ingress, and extend the operational lifespan of critical healthcare buildings.

A strong example of how structured condition surveys and technical reporting can support long-term estate management within live healthcare environments.
