BRE can help you to prevent and solve problems wherever they arise - from corrosion in concrete bridges to crumbling façades in office buildings.
Our services are tailored to your needs. You may want advice on problem prevention or the diagnosis of existing problems and their causes - or a fuller range of services leading to the remedial and further actions needed to put the situation right. Issues we can help with include:
Renders, plaster and mortars
We advise on material selection and design issues to minimise problems. Where problems have occurred, our experts diagnose them, analyse the causes, recommend remediation actions, and offer an independent view of responsibility and expert witness services.
Floors
We work with contractors to ensure that floor screeds and coverings are correctly specified and detailed to minimise potential problems. When floor coverings fail we can review the floor structure as a whole to ensure the correct cause is identified.
Roofs and roofing material
BRE can advise you on the design and specification of roofs. With a full understanding of all roof types and roofing materials, we can diagnose any problems arising and suggest the best remedial measures.
Façades
Successful façade design requires an understanding of all forms of construction, combined with up-to-date knowledge of materials. BRE provide technical assessments of façades, advise on the buildability of designs and help with solving problems.
Coatings
BRE advise on appropriate coatings for any material and situation, and remedially, we provide site inspections, testing and best practice guidance.
Corrosion
The deterioration of metals used throughout the building industry can lead to faults that are often misdiagnosed with serious consequences. Our experts identify the problems and solutions.
Building Regulations checks
BRE have a long history in developing UK building regulations and have a continued involvement in the development of Irish Building Regulations. BRE Ireland check that compliance to building regulations has been achieved.
