Prior to the commencement of the installation the Architect and Roofer’s drawings are checked to ensure that no glaring errors have been made and that they are in line with the manufacturers’ installation guide. It helps to sit down with the installation team and explain what Lampos will be looking for during the works. Once they are all aware of what we will be doing it tends to focus their minds to do a better job.
We may take a number of thermographic pictures to ensure that the insulation has been installed correctly and that if sandwich panels are specified they are installed correctly with all joints compressed to ensure the continuity of the insulation.
Finally, the use of thermography highlights where cold bridging may be occurring. These issues are brought to the attention of the installer for rectification.
It is rare that products themselves fail, it is the manner in which they have been installed. Workmanship is often very poor with the installers left with a set of drawings that are just ignored. Supervision from the roofing company is rare hence problems occur. It costs less to put right the wrongs during the installation rather than once the building is complete bringing the contractor back to effect the repair. This takes time and money as well as all of the disruption to the tenant.
The aim of Lampos is to review the works as they progress during the installation and ensure that where a problem is seen it is rectified immediately. A report is prepared after every visit and this allows the contractor to put right the problems before our next visit to ensure delays are kept to a minimum.
