How electronic leak detection works in Bellfields
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or to test a new membrane before it’s covered. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Tell us about your roof to find out more. If you’ve noticed leaks showing away from the breach and breaches hidden under paving or planting, we can find out what’s behind it.
In smaller places like Bellfields, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let plenty of water into the room below. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. In a smaller place like Bellfields, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

When to book a survey in Bellfields
Holes in a membrane frequently come from feet, tools or debris. Some are too small to see, but still let water through.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Water coming in under a flat roof
For hotels and guest houses around Bellfields, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition.

EPDM rubber roofs
EPDM rubber roofs frequently last 30–50 years, but can still be punctured.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer but holes and thin areas can occur. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
