- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
How we price electronic leak detection
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Booking your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What made you get in touch
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Beenham Stocks
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage methods normally need a wet roof surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane. The right method depends on the membrane and the build-up of the roof and we explain which we will use. We will say if your roof doesn’t suit either method before any testing starts. We survey single-ply roofs, green roofs and roof terraces and balconies, and the problems we are asked to look at most are water coming in under a flat roof and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings.
Somewhere as small as Beenham Stocks, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Somewhere like Beenham Stocks needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
What we cannot see
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Some conductive membranes
- Carrying out the repair work

Do you need electronic leak detection in Beenham Stocks?
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Failed seams and laps
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Leaks that return after repairs
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Flat and commercial roofs around Beenham Stocks
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you look after a building like Beenham Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For landlords with property near Aldermaston station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Questions from Beenham Stocks
Is Beenham Stocks in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Beenham Stocks is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Beenham Stocks?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Is the repair part of the test?
No. We test the membrane and report. You get the breach locations with photos for your roofer to repair.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Find the breach before more patching
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Limit access to the roof
Wet insulation may need attention after a leak. Your roofer can advise on that, and moisture readings can help.
Check contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
