Why act early in Asheridge
Patching where you think the leak is frequently misses it. ELD shows the actual breach points. For older village homes like those around Asheridge, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Surveys seven days a week

Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Asheridge
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing, not every cause of water getting in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. If the evidence points elsewhere, we’ll say so. 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. We’ll point you to the likely next step. If you are worried about damage from equipment installers and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings, we can find out what’s behind it, on liquid-applied waterproofing, commercial flat roofs and single-ply roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Asheridge, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Local flat roofs in Asheridge
The wider area around Asheridge has a long history of building, with Cholesbury Manor House about 1.7 miles north. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Anyone responsible for a site like Chartridge Combined School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. Take an older house close to St John's Church: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. In a hamlet or village like Asheridge, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
