About electronic leak detection in Buckinghamshire

A leak in a flat roof frequently shows up a long way from where the water gets in. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself and locates the breach. We test and report and leave the repair to your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. We then send you the results in a written report. Typical surveys look at breaches around outlets and penetrations and leaks through a covered membrane, across liquid-applied waterproofing, flat roof membranes and green roofs.

You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote.

First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
Testing runs across the agreed area.
Each breach found is located and recorded.
The report is sent for your roofer to act on.

What affects the price in Buckinghamshire

The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

The countryside around Aylesbury includes Coombe Hill.

Electronic leak detection across Buckinghamshire: local notes

Across Buckinghamshire, flat roofs over kitchens, garages and dormers are often the first part of a home to leak. Lifespans vary: felt often around 15–20 years, EPDM around 30–50 and GRP up to about 30.

We work right across London and South East England, from the Isle of Wight to Hertfordshire, and Buckinghamshire is well within that. We survey on any day of the week.

Aylesbury: Landlords with a home close to Aylesbury station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Friars Square, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.

Checking the roof from ground level

After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.

Honest limits

Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:

Areas we can’t reach or that cannot be tested
Leaks from plumbing or windows
Moisture spread under the membrane

What we are asked to look at in Buckinghamshire

Holes in a membrane often come from feet, tools or debris. Some are too small to see but water still finds them.

Things that often lead to a survey include:

Damp inside with no sign on the roof
New roofs to check before paving or planting
Gaps at membrane joints
Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause

Why act early?

Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle.

Questions to ask before booking

What the report includes, and whether it has photos
What experience they bring
What’s outside the scope of the survey
Which viewpoints they use to see the roof

Roof by roof

Single-ply membranes

ELD frequently works on single-ply membranes but it depends on the product and layers.

Inverted and paved roofs

If the build-up rules out ELD, we will say so.

Buckinghamshire: your questions answered

What’s the best way to book?

The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.

Do you test for asbestos?

No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.

I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?

Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.

What’s the price of ELD?

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. To get a quote, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Do you need to get into the loft?

Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.

Is Buckinghamshire in your area?

Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Buckinghamshire.

Will you walk on the roof?

Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
