Badger Farm Electronic Leak Detection
An experienced roof surveyor for electronic leak detection in Badger Farm. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and South East England.
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Holes left by work on the roof
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
About our electronic leak detection in Badger Farm
Some flat roofs can’t be tested electronically. Certain membranes conduct electricity and some roofs don’t have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you at the start. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It saves a wasted visit. If you’re worried about leaks showing away from the breach and breaches hidden under paving or planting, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Badger Farm, some flat roofs sit in the open, so wind catches loose edges and trims. Felt and bitumen also age in strong sun. Splits, blisters and lifting edges are what to look out for. Standing water that lingers for days after rain is another sign worth watching for.
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. You will see the good as well as the bad.

FAQs for Badger Farm
Do you cover commercial flat roofs around Badger Farm?
Yes, we cover commercial roofs as well as homes. Access to the roof is sorted out with whoever manages the building before the day.
Will you come out to Badger Farm?
Yes, Badger Farm is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
What’s in the report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. You will know roughly how long before we start.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- Areas we can’t reach or that can’t be tested

How the survey changes by roof type
Green and ballasted roofs
ELD is easier on a new roof before it’s covered.
Inverted and paved roofs
Paving and terraces cover the membrane. Whether it can be tested depends on the build-up.
When to book a survey in Badger Farm
Other trades on the roof can puncture the waterproofing. Fixings, equipment and foot traffic can leave small holes.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Waterproofing to test before it is covered
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
Landlords with a home close to Winchester station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a smaller place like Badger Farm, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Electronic leak detection around Badger Farm
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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 Stanmore Primary School: a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For an older house near a landmark like Saint Luke, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
