Amport Electronic Leak Detection
We carry out electronic leak detection in Amport and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
About our electronic leak detection in Amport
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use, and some may need lifting. We will discuss it with you when we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We’ll tell you if the roof cannot be tested. We’re often asked to look into holes around roof penetrations and leaks showing away from the breach, across green roofs, commercial flat roofs and flat roof membranes.
Older buildings in small places like Amport may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we are asked to look at in Amport
Repeated leaks after repairs suggest the real breach hasn’t been found. Electronic testing helps pinpoint it.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.
What to check before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Electronic leak detection in Amport: local notes
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Take a building like Amport Church of England Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For landlords with property near Grateley station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the flat roof membrane as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Older roofs in small places like Amport can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Advice
Questions from Amport
Do you carry out roof surveys in Amport?
Yes, Amport is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is Amport within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How fast do I get the report?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. For a quote, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
Not every roof is suitable. Some membranes conduct electricity and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. We will tell you if yours isn’t suitable at the start.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Amport
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
What electronic leak detection does not cover
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Sections we cannot safely access

- Commercial flat roofs
- Green roofs

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Keep outlets clear of debris
File the report with your roof paperwork. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Consider testing a new membrane before it is covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
