Electronic leak detection in Beal's Green: what you get
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. Repair costs aren’t part of the report; that is for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and flat roof membranes, and people most often book us about new roofs to check before paving or planting and gaps at membrane joints.
Somewhere as small as Beal's Green, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Common questions in Beal's Green
Is Beal's Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Beal's Green is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Beal's Green?
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.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
Not every roof is suitable. Some membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. We will tell you if yours isn’t suitable before testing.
Flat and commercial roofs around Beal's Green
Scotney Castle, about 5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Beal's Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Take a building like Marlborough House School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you own a rental within reach of Etchingham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Useful tips for Beal's Green property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Limit access to the roof
- Do not let outlets block
- Share any drawings of the roof
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Beal's Green
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Different roofs, different checks
Green and ballasted roofs
Roofs with planting or ballast hide the membrane. Testing may still be possible, depending on the build-up.
EPDM rubber roofs
Certain rubber membranes are conductive which can limit electronic testing. We’ll tell you if yours isn’t suitable.
What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit typically takes a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Cottages and farmhouses around Beal's Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
