The GB Specialist Access team has successfully completed a façade inspection on a prominent property in Golden Square, London. Our in-house IRATA-certified rope technicians carried out the inspection using rope access methods, ensuring full coverage of the building’s brick elevations with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
As part of the inspection process, a tap test was performed across the brick façade to detect any signs of delamination, instability, or hidden structural issues. The results confirmed that no major repairs are currently required, validating the building’s sound condition and the value of routine inspections.
Why Tap Testing Is Essential
Tap testing is a non-invasive technique used to identify voids, cracks, or loose masonry behind the surface. It plays a critical role in maintaining façade integrity, particularly for heritage and high-value buildings in dense urban environments.
