Facade, cladding and glazing inspection
Cladding and glazing fail slowly and silently until they do not. A drone survey after the storm season and moisture sensors on the elevation that leaked before is the practical conversion.
What does a facade, cladding and glazing inspection involve?
Facade, cladding and glazing inspection checks: fixings secure, sealant condition, glazing gaskets intact, water ingress evidence internally. Observed by visual inspection from access equipment or drone; water ingress sensors on known problem elevations. Water ingress converts to internal moisture sensing; the external inspection stays and, for high-rise and combustible cladding, its interval is set by the building safety regulator.
- Condition that replaces the interval
- None that replaces a periodic look; a post-storm trigger and a fixed maximum interval set by the building regulator for high-rise cladding are the honest answer
- Reading that proves it
- Fixings secure, sealant condition, glazing gaskets intact, water ingress evidence internally
- Why the interval stays
- Water ingress converts to internal moisture sensing; the external inspection stays and, for high-rise and combustible cladding, its interval is set by the building safety regulator.
- Evidence an auditor accepts
- Inspection report per elevation with photographs and the defect and repair record
- First move
- Photograph each elevation on a fixed grid at every inspection; the comparison is the inspection.
