Metal Roof Defects CPD

Our metal roofing CPD is designed and delivered by building surveyors to ensure that you get the fullest possible benefit from the session.

Although we are manufacturers of roof coatings, our metal roofing defects CPD is focused on the things you will find most helpful when conducting roof surveys.

Condensed into an easy to follow format, lasting around an hour, topics typically include:

  • Common metal roof defects (including cut edge corrosion)
  • Sources of water ingress
  • Defects remediation
  • Refurbish, overclad or replacement options
  • BBA and what to look out for
  • Warranties
  • Q&A

Whilst we touch on the benefits of our BBA Approved metal roof coating system, it’s only in the context of building surveying, so we also look carefully at the reasons for roof coatings failure.

About Our CPD

Created and presented by building surveyors for building surveyors, our CPD sessions concentrate on identification of defects.

Our CPD slides contain images and videos from our own industrial roof surveys and are light on text.

The Liquasil team is better qualified than most to provide this information in a completely unbiased and impartial manner.

Our CPD is genuinely about helping you get the most from your roof surveys.

Who Should Attend

Any building surveyor conducting roof surveys in any capacity will benefit from a Liquasil CPD.

Building surveyors at all levels of seniority can use the information in our CPD sessions every day in their work.

The content stays with you because it’s presented in a highly graphical and engaging manner.

Building surveyors and specifiers who regularly work on industrial roofing issues should attend, because they will receive most benefit.

What You’ll Learn

Many surveyors only spot 1 of 5 common roof defects. See what they’re missing.

Learn how cut edge corrosion treatments can lead to latent defects and liability exposure.

Discover the truth about warranties and how to protect your own interests.

How to interpret a BBA Certificate and avoid incorrect specifications.

Discover a commonly overlooked British Standard to justify your recommendations.

Maximise Your CPD

CPD training is often viewed as being an obstacle to work, a tick box exercise.

Choosing a CPD that is relevant to your own role means that you’ll get far more value from it.

Bring examples of roofs you’ve worked on and we can discuss them with you.

We recommend participation in our Q&A sessions at the end of each presentation.

Content can be tailored to you and your team’s precise requirements tao maximise the benefit to you.

BITESIZED CPD

Why Use Silicone Technology For Roof Coatings?

Silicones are 100% UV stable, meaning they don’t degrade, chalk, or become brittle under prolonged exposure to sunlight. Why it matters:Metal roofs get intense UV exposure. Alternative coatings like acrylics or hybrids tend to chalk or lose elasticity over...

Do You Need BBA Approval?

BBA or Not BBA - It's Your Choice When it comes to specifying a roof coating, do you actually need to be using a BBA Approved product? As a manufacturer, we provide BBA approved products to give specifiers the reassurance that only comes with independent and unbiased...

Testing For Overlapping Metal Roof Sheet Seals

When conducting a survey on a metal profiled roof with overlapping roof sheets, we use the "rule method" where we insert a 12 inch steel rule into the gap that is present between the upper and lower roof sheets. A butyl strip seal should be present between the upper...

Waterproof or Protective Roof Coating?

A protective roof coating is not the same as waterproofing a roof. A waterproofing system is usually designed for flat roof application and a protective coating is typically applied to pitched roofs, such as metal or asbestos cement.

Industrial Gutter Liners

Bitesize CPD discussing industrial gutter liner options available to the professional specifier. Steel gutters, asbestos gutters, concrete gutters – which gutter liner is best for you?

Bite-Size CPD – Roof Fixings

In this bitesize CPD article, we look at roof fixings. Ignoring the fixings means that you could be leaving money on the table with your dilapidations claims. If you are preparing a condition schedule, identifying faults prior to lease agreement, you could be protecting your client from a big claim later.

To Seal Or Not to Seal?

Should you seal overlapping coating a roof or treating cut edge corrosion? We don’t think so, but we’ll let you be the judge once you’ve read this article prepared by our own team of Chartered Building Surveyors. We have products that you can use, but we still don’t often recommend sealing mid-lap joints.

Cut Edge Corrosion & Metal Roofing Defects CPD

Our cut edge corrosion and metal roofing CPD examines the issues commonly encountered by building surveyors and looks at the subject from a different perspective than you might be used to.

Attendees will learn:

  • Common Metal Roofing Issues
  • Metal Roof Inspection & Fault Diagnosis
  • Cut Edge Corrosion
  • How To Inspect Existing Cut Edge Corrosion Systems
  • How To Successfully Treat Cut Edge Corrosion
  • Metal Roof Cleaning & Surface Preparation Methods
  • Metal Roof Coating Methods
  • Coatings Technologies
  • Common Coating Faults
  • Coating and Treatment Specification & Costing

Many dilapidations surveyors have commented that their knowledge of metal roofing was significantly improved after attending this session.

If you’ve sat through countless, uninspiring CPD training sessions that are not relevant to the work you do as a surveyor, facilities manager, architect or asset manager, our industrial roofing CPD training will be like a breath of fresh air.

Our CPD sessions are available anywhere in the UK, for Chartered Building Surveying practices, facilities managers or other professional specifiers with as little as four attendees.

We also supply at least one hour of useful, additional learning material in electronic format that can be used in your day to day duties.

Rooftop CPD

We can conduct CPD’s on the roof by joining you on one of your roof surveys.

During your inspection, we’ll highlight everything we see and explain the defect and suggested remedies. 

Our building surveyors will explain what enabling works might be required prior to coating, so that you can make an informed decision on what solution is best for you and your client.

Nothing beats an on-site CPD and it’s one to one, so there are no distractions from other people.

For obvious reasons, we can only attend sites on this basis if you are specifying Liquasil products on live projects and where safe access is available.

If you are looking for meaningful, industrial roofing CPD training that provides knowledge you can use immediately, please call us on 0121 709 5352.

Our CPD sessions have been attended in person or online by more than a thousand property professionals, including building surveyors, architects, facilities managers and asset managers.
