About our electronic leak detection in Bedhampton
ELD finds breaches in the membrane but not every way water gets in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. The test shows breaches in the membrane, not water coming through masonry or around frames. The report makes clear what was and wasn’t tested. You’ll also know what to check next. Typical surveys look at holes around roof penetrations and patched roofs that still leak, on liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and commercial flat roofs.
In smaller places like Bedhampton, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Bedhampton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Bedhampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Bedhampton?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
Can every flat roof be tested?
Not every roof is suitable. Some membranes conduct electricity and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. We will tell you if yours is not suitable before testing.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.

What else we do in Bedhampton
Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Flat roofs in Bedhampton
Bedhampton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. The wider area around Bedhampton has a long history of building, with Warblington Castle about 1.7 miles south-east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Bidbury Junior School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For an older house near a landmark like St Nicholas Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
Bedhampton is about 1 mile south-west of Havant, in Hampshire. We carry out electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Bedhampton and nearby. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small.

A little further out are Warblington Castle (1.7 miles south-east) and Havant Museum (1.1 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Portsdown Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Bedhampton, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You’ll know the price for your survey before you book.

Signs you need electronic leak detection in Bedhampton
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. ELD can work on some covered roofs, depending on the build-up.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Gaps at membrane joints
If you let a flat or house near Bedhampton station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Before you book anyone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Will the report include photos?
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether VAT is added on top
Practical tips
Getting the most from electronic leak detection starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Record dates and spots where water appears
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photographs. Pass it to your roofer to repair the breach points.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Parking around Bedhampton is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
