Electronic leak detection in Appleshaw: what you get
ELD can be carried out in more than one way. Low-voltage methods normally need a wet roof surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane. The right method depends on the membrane and the build-up of the roof and we explain which we will use. If neither method suits your roof, we’ll tell you at the outset. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and commercial flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are repairs that haven’t stopped the leak and damp inside with no sign on the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Appleshaw are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Electronic leak detection around Appleshaw
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Take a building like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter in the Wood, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a small place like Appleshaw, access is usually 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 agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Advice
Appleshaw questions
How do I find out if my home in Appleshaw is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Appleshaw?
Yes, Appleshaw is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
How long will testing take?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. We’ll give you an idea when we quote.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it doesn’t include calculations. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Appleshaw
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof membrane, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.

Why act early in Appleshaw
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. Older cottages and farmhouses around Appleshaw can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Why book with us

What you can safely check yourself
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
