Why get it checked now?
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Once layers are added, finding a breach is harder. Older cottages and farmhouses around Allhallows can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

Electronic leak detection in Allhallows
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we will say so. If you’ve noticed leaks that return after repairs and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, we can find out what’s behind it, on green roofs, flat roof membranes and liquid-applied waterproofing alike.
Older buildings in small places like Allhallows may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. 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.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Allhallows
Allhallows lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Allhallows Primary Academy, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of All Saints, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Older roofs in small places like Allhallows can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Related advice
Your questions about electronic leak detection in Allhallows
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Allhallows?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it normally shows, and Allhallows is within about 1 mile of the coast.
Is my home in Allhallows listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How do I book a survey in Allhallows?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
On some roofs, yes. What sits on the membrane affects the method so we check the roof first.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Carrying out the repair work
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Sections we cannot safely access
