How electronic leak detection works in Aspley Heath
Electronic leak detection, or ELD, finds holes in flat roof waterproofing membranes. It works with an electrical current that passes through the membrane only where there is a breach. It can find holes too small to spot by eye, so your roofer can repair them. You get a photo-illustrated written report of each breach found. If you’ve noticed damage from equipment installers and leaks showing away from the breach, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Aspley Heath, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What we look for on each type of roof
Inverted and paved roofs
Inverted roofs have the insulation on top of the waterproofing, which affects testing.
Green and ballasted roofs
Roofs with planting or ballast hide the membrane. Testing may still be possible but it depends on the layers.
FAQs for Aspley Heath
Do you cover smaller places like Aspley Heath?
Yes, Aspley Heath is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Aspley Heath listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
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, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No, our part is finding the breaches. Your roofer uses the report to target the repair.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.

What affects the price in Aspley Heath
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The roof’s overall size
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- House, block, shop or office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Anything about access we should know
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Find the breach before more patching
- Limit access to the roof
Questions about the results are welcome. We’ll explain what was found and what it means.
Consider testing a new membrane before it is covered. It is easier to find holes before more layers are added.
Local flat roofs in Aspley Heath
About 2.8 miles south-east lies Woburn Abbey, a reminder of how long the area around Aspley Heath has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Swallowfield Lower School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of Saint Michael, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Landlords with a home close to Woburn Sands station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

The survey, step by step
