Beedon Electronic Leak Detection
Independent electronic leak detection in Beedon. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
How we price electronic leak detection
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Electronic leak detection in Beedon
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Beedon and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. The results come in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed breaches around outlets and penetrations and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Beedon, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why act early in Beedon
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Finding the breach sooner limits that. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Beedon, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
For a price for your roof in Beedon, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. For a village or hamlet like Beedon, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Arrange a survey

Advice
Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Test new membranes before covering them
File the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Make sure contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
FAQs for Beedon
Do you cover Beedon?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Beedon is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Beedon?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
On some roofs, yes. Covered roofs limit the methods we can use so we check the roof first.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
What is electronic leak detection?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. A breach lets the current through so we can pinpoint it.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.

When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Fixing the holes we find
- Areas we cannot reach or that can’t be tested

Liquid-applied waterproofing
Small holes in liquid waterproofing may leak. ELD can help locate them on suitable roofs.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Beedon
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Beedon C.E. (Controlled) Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
