Electronic leak detection in Battramsley
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. Repair costs are not part of the report; that is for your roofer to price. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at leaks under green or ballasted roofs and gaps at membrane joints, across flat roof membranes, green roofs and single-ply roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Battramsley, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
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.

Local flat roofs in Battramsley
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Battramsley, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt in the air is hard on metal flashings and fixings, and wind catches any loose edge on a flat roof. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Sway 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 Church of St John, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.

Common questions in Battramsley
Will you come out to Battramsley?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Battramsley, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What will the report tell me?
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.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Testing a new membrane before it is covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Covered roofs are harder to test. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

What else we do in Battramsley
Roof by roof
Green and ballasted roofs
Roofs with planting or ballast hide the membrane. Testing may still be possible, depending on the build-up.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes are common on commercial and newer roofs. Laps and fixings are where holes frequently appear.
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Cottages and farmhouses around Battramsley frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Common roof problems in Battramsley
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
Common reasons to book include:
- Failed seams and laps
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Water coming in under a flat roof
Anyone responsible for a site like William Gilpin Church of England Primary School will know that a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
What to check before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
