How electronic leak detection works in Aldermaston Soke
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends, depending on the weather. Just ask about your roof. We survey commercial flat roofs, roof terraces and balconies and green roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are patched roofs that still leak and water coming in under a flat roof.
Somewhere as small as Aldermaston Soke, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. For a village or hamlet like Aldermaston Soke, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.

Different roofs, different checks

Roofs with planting or ballast hide the membrane. Some methods can work through these layers, depending on the build-up.
EPDM rubber roofs
EPDM is a long-lasting flat roof membrane, but can still be punctured.
Electronic leak detection in Aldermaston Soke: local notes
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. With The Vyne about 4.5 miles south, Aldermaston Soke sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Silchester Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you live in an older home near Saint Luke's Church, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Find the breach before more patching
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It is a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
