About our electronic leak detection in Bampton
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. 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 suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. We then send you the results in a written report. If you’re worried about leaks that return after repairs and leaks through a covered membrane, we can find out what’s behind it.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Bampton frequently have flat roofs of their own. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. If you want them looked at too, mention them as you book. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Don’t leave water getting in
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Limit access to the roof
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
Questions about the results are welcome. We will explain what was found and what it means.
Consider testing a new membrane before it’s covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
Common questions in Bampton

How is ELD priced?
We quote for each roof individually. Tell us about the roof and where it leaks. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a quote.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you look in the loft space?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Why act early in Bampton
Testing a new membrane before it is covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Covered roofs are harder to test. Arranging work in a smaller place like Bampton is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
All our prices include VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. A visit to Bampton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- First, you let us know about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- 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.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Electronic leak detection around Bampton
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. With Longworth House about 4.8 miles south-east, Bampton sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you look after a building such as Bampton CofE Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
