About our electronic leak detection in Aldermaston Wharf
ELD finds breaches in the membrane, not every cause of water getting in. Water coming through walls, copings, rooflights or plumbing won’t show on the test. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. The test shows breaches in the membrane, not water coming through masonry or around frames. The report makes clear what was and wasn’t tested. You’ll also know what to check next. Common reasons to book are breaches around outlets and penetrations and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, on flat roof membranes, green roofs and roof terraces and balconies.
Older buildings in small places like Aldermaston Wharf may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Honest limits
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Sections we can’t safely access
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- Some conductive membranes
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Green roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Single-ply roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Flat roof membranes
- Commercial flat roofs
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.

Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage methods are usually carried out on a wet roof and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.

Common roof problems in Aldermaston Wharf
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. Small openings at laps can leak long before anyone notices.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Before booking anyone

Flat roofs in Aldermaston Wharf
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In a small place like Aldermaston Wharf, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
