How electronic leak detection works in Beauworth
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Certain membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. If your roof is not suitable, we’ll tell you at the start. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, such as drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that cannot give results. If you’ve noticed holes left by work on the roof and holes around roof penetrations, we can find out what’s behind it, on single-ply roofs, green roofs and roof terraces and balconies alike.
In a small place like Beauworth, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What we look for on each type of roof
Green and ballasted roofs
Testing before planting or ballast goes on is simpler.
Single-ply membranes
ELD frequently works on single-ply membranes, depending on the type and build-up.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Test new membranes before covering them
File the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
Electronic leak detection around Beauworth
The wider area around Beauworth has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 1.5 miles north-east. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. For a village or hamlet like Beauworth, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.

Advice
What affects the price in Beauworth
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The roof’s overall size
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to let us know when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Other services in Beauworth
Do you need electronic leak detection in Beauworth?
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. Small openings at laps can leak for months before it shows.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Holes around roof penetrations
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St James, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
