Why choose our glazing and leak detection services?
We understand the need to maintain structural integrity, safety, and efficiency, which is why we deliver a fast, reliable, and compliant approach to high-level glazing maintenance.
We work to provide building managers with expert glazing inspections, digital surveys, dilapidation surveys, and leak detection services that will ensure your glazing remains secure, functional, and weatherproof. Our experts in high-rise buildings, atriums, and difficult-to-access glazing are armed with experience working across a range of heritage, listed and high-rise properties.
Our clients include hotel managers, commercial building owners, and government building managers.
Our approach to glazing repairs and leak detection
Our expert team specialises in targeted repairs, deep cleaning, and leak prevention, restoring your glazing to peak condition.
We aim to ensure your glazing and atrium walkway glazing remain secure, leak-free, and fully operational. Exposure to the elements can cause sealant shrinkage, glazing deterioration, and water ingress, which leads to costly damage if left unchecked.
We employ a range of specialist access techniques to perform our job safely such as abseiling, temporary cradles, MEWPs, and fall protection systems. We can guarantee a precise and efficient repair process with minimal disruption to your building’s operations.
Our glazing expertise includes:
- Deep cleaning of high-level glazing to remove contaminants and identify hidden defects
- Sealant replacement for shrunken or deteriorated seals, ensuring watertight glazing units
- Leak detection and repairs using advanced techniques to pinpoint and resolve water ingress issues
- Panel replacement, matching and sourcing new panels even without onsite O&M manuals
- Thermal imaging and spray bar testing to diagnose weak points in glazing structures
With our proactive glazing maintenance approach, we can help you avoid expensive reactive repairs. Our repairs help to improve energy efficiency and maintain a safe, visually appealing building exterior.
Here are some additional services we provide in the glazing repair & maintenance sector:
- Leak investigations for difficult to access atrium and high-level glazing.
- Sealant replacement, gasket repairs and defect mapping.
- Specialist rope access repairs, sealants and fabric stabilisation.
- Deep cleaning of high-level glazing and atrium glazing units.
- Replacement of defective panels.
- Condition and sealant surveys for atriums and high-level glazing.
- IRATA compliant rope access working methods of access.
- Installation of new cold liquid waterproofing systems.
- Specialist roofing support to ensure watertight roofs.
- Installation of new rain water systems.

I am using Building Transformation’s work to help justify façade restoration works around our business. They have produced excellent presentations on what can be achieved and is a brilliant piece of informed marketing that is helping win people over in our business to take façade cleaning and restoration more seriously.

Building Transformation is always mindful of the environments they are working in and take the time to understand the restrictions of each site; whether they be physical or due to the client’s day to day activities. They are extremely proactive and ensure that any issues are flagged to a client immediately, and when doing so always make sure a solution is provided. I couldn’t recommend Building Transformation more highly.

I had a walk around today with Dave and am impressed with the work so far. Dave and the team have done a great job.
I’d certainly love to work with you in the future so perhaps before the job is completed we could look at what opportunities there are for the future.

At this stage, from my point of view your team has been extremely professional, informing us of what was happening at all times and most importantly no disruption whatsoever to our guests and business.

The team at Building Transformation understood our challenge of finding a facade cleaning solution that would initially restore the glazing to its original state, protecting our building for years to come. Through intelligent and thorough testing right through to the full restoration of Block D, we have been very satisfied with the project management and delivery of the cleaning programme.
