What electronic leak detection looks like in Batt's Corner
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 4 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Batt's Corner goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Bentley (Hampshire) station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For an older house near a landmark such as The Church Of The Good Shepherd, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Electronic leak detection in Batt's Corner
A leak in a flat roof often shows up a long way from where the water gets in. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself 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. If you are worried about breaches hidden under paving or planting and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roof membranes, liquid-applied waterproofing and commercial flat roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Batt's Corner, 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. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.

What else we do in Batt's Corner
What happens if roof problems are left?
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
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.
Why book with us
- An independent look at the roof
- Every finding written up with photos
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Read our cost guide and two real surveys.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof membrane as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Around Batt's Corner, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Let us know about parking near the property
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
