Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Bells Yew Green
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We’ll tell you if the roof can’t be tested. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and flat roof membranes, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from equipment installers and leaks showing away from the breach.
Some older homes in villages like Bells Yew Green are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Why get it checked now?
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. Electronic testing finds the hole first, so the repair can be targeted. In a place like Bells Yew Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You’ll know the exact price before you book.

Electronic leak detection around Bells Yew Green
With Wadhurst Castle about 3 miles south-east, Bells Yew Green sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Corn Exchange, a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the 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.

We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.

Questions from Bells Yew Green
Will you come out to Bells Yew Green?
Yes, Bells Yew Green is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bells Yew Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
What’s the price of ELD?
We quote for each roof individually. Send us details of the roof. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a quote.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. What sits on the membrane affects the method so we look at the roof first.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Which method do you use?
The method is chosen to suit the roof. Low-voltage testing typically needs a wet surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
How long will testing take?
Testing typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too.

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Commercial flat roofs
- Green roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Single-ply roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Limit access to the roof
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Don’t keep patching the same spot
- Note where leaks show inside and when
File the report with your roof paperwork. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Make sure contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
