The Hilton Hotel, Reading

As part of our ongoing relationship with the Hilton brand throughout the UK, we were asked to investigate and document the Reading hotel’s roof as a matter of urgency.

Building Transformation undertook a thorough leak investigation at the hotel to identify the source of water ingress affecting the building’s roofing system. The project involved inspecting the rainwater management systems, controlled water testing (including rain and flood simulation), and the collation of defect evidence for the client.

Of course this all needed to be done whilst minimising disruption to hotel operations and business. We were required to access difficult roof sections and accurately pinpoint multiple potential leak sources, so a logical and methodical approach was an absolute must.

It was necessary to take a holistic approach to this project, leaving no stone unturned and managing the various access and operational constraints to the highest standard. It was this that allowed us to make a thorough assessment of the situation and collate the correct evidence for the client.

A comprehensive report with recommendations was provided, enabling the hotel management to address the issue promptly and mitigate future water damage risks.
