Electronic leak detection in Baybridge, Hampshire
Get a clear view of the flat roof membrane at a property in Baybridge from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Waterproofing to test before it is covered
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Patched roofs that still leak
Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Find the breach before more patching
Wet insulation may need attention after a leak. That’s something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is worth considering. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
Electronic leak detection in Baybridge
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found, with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. We don’t estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. 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. If you’ve noticed damp inside with no sign on the roof and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roof membranes, single-ply roofs and roof terraces and balconies alike.
Older buildings in small places like Baybridge may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Where we cannot see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Roof by roof
Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well, depending on the type and build-up.
Bituminous membranes
Many flat roofs use bitumen-based membranes. Whether ELD suits them depends on the build-up.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Baybridge
Testing a new membrane before it’s covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Once layers are added, finding a breach is harder. In a place like Baybridge, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Flat roofs in Baybridge
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is 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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Andrew, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. For landlords with property near Shawford station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Owslebury Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Rural addresses near Baybridge can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Advice
FAQs for Baybridge
Do you cover smaller places like Baybridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Baybridge?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Baybridge as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
How long will testing take?
Testing normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, like sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
What this survey can’t tell you
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Carrying out the repair work
