About our electronic leak detection in Beaulieu
Some flat roofs can’t be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. We’ll say if ELD will not work on your roof before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It saves a wasted visit. We are frequently asked to look into water coming in under a flat roof and damage from equipment installers, on commercial flat roofs, green roofs and roof terraces and balconies.
Older buildings in small places like Beaulieu may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Beaulieu
Testing a new membrane before it is covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Covered roofs are harder to test. Older cottages and farmhouses around Beaulieu can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Around Beaulieu, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- 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.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Beaulieu: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Beaulieu?
Yes, Beaulieu is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is the coastal weather around Beaulieu hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows, and Beaulieu is within about 3 miles of the coast.
How fast do I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. 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.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
ELD doesn’t suit every roof. Certain membranes are conductive, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. If your roof will not work, we’ll say so before testing.

Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office

Electronic leak detection around Beaulieu
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Beaulieu, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
The streets around a church like Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. If you let a flat or house near Beaulieu Road station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. Beaulieu Palace House, about 0.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Beaulieu. On a period home nearby, any flat roof is likely to be a later addition with its own lifespan.
Beaulieu is about 4 miles south-west of Hythe, in Hampshire. Beaulieu gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report. Beaulieu is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. We also survey roofs in Southampton.
