Electronic Leak Detection in Bagmore
Electronic leak detection to pinpoint holes in flat roof membranes around Bagmore, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Rural addresses near Bagmore can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
How to prepare
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Booking a survey
If you are 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 ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

About our electronic leak detection in Bagmore
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. ELD tests the waterproofing directly and locates the breach. It’s testing only, and the repair is for your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. The results then follow in a written report with photos. We survey flat roof membranes, single-ply roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing, and people most often book us about leaks that return after repairs and new roofs to check before paving or planting.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Bagmore take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Flat roofs in Bagmore
With Hall Place about 3 miles south, Bagmore sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St. Mary, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.
Bagmore is about 5 miles north-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Bagmore is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area as part of our work across London and the South East. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not 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.
Bagmore questions
How do I find out if my home in Bagmore is listed?
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.
Will you come out to Bagmore?
Yes, Bagmore is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How fast do I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Bagmore?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
We choose the method that suits the roof. You’ll know which method we plan to use before we start.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Sections we cannot safely access
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- The extent of water in the insulation
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Green roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Flat roof membranes
- Commercial flat roofs
- Single-ply roofs
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has 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.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Bagmore?
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. Small openings at laps can leak long before anyone notices.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Water coming in under a flat roof
If you own a rental within reach of Alton station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What follow-up you get after the report
- When you’ll get the report
- What the survey will not cover
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Limit access to the roof
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Find the breach before more patching
- Test new membranes before covering them
If we think the leak is not coming through the membrane, the report says so, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Don’t leave a flat roof leak running. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
