About Thornton Consulting
Thornton Consulting specialises in locating and analysing leaks in buildings and other waterproof structures, whether they originate in the roof or other elements of the building envelope, as well as leaks or dampness in service floors and basements.
​
We offer a whole range of detection and testing techniques that can be used across both commercial and large residential buildings across the UK.
​
Thornton Consulting was established in 1986 and encompasses the brand Leaktector, which pioneered the electronic testing for leaks in flat roof waterproofing membranes.
​
The management team have over 60 years experience between them and are specialists in their area. We have a highly qualified team of consultants and engineers that cover the UK.
Where We Work
Our experienced team can work across the UK.
Although we have a large number of London based clients, we are always happy to take on new clients throughout the country.
Recent cases have included a shopping centre in Manchester, a large block of flats in Bristol and numerous car parks across the South East.
How We Test
Our primary testing method is through Electronic Leak Detection, of which there are two methods - the "Wet" Method, or Low Voltage as it can be known, and the Holiday or Pinhole test which is a dry method.
These tests do rely on the electrically conductive properties of the deck and insulating properties of the waterproofing to be affective so we also offer our differential pressure test when necessary such as for non-conductive decks.
