How electronic leak detection works in Bepton Common
ELD finds breaches in the membrane but not every way water gets in. Water coming through walls, copings, rooflights or plumbing will not show on the test. If the evidence points elsewhere, we’ll say so. It won’t show water getting in through brickwork or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. You’ll also know what to check next. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, flat roof membranes and single-ply roofs, and people most frequently book us about damp inside with no sign on the roof and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause.
Some older homes in villages like Bepton Common are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Signs you need electronic leak detection in Bepton Common
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs, depending on the build-up.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Patched roofs that still leak
Take an older house close to Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

Electronic leak detection in Bepton Common: local notes
With Cowdray House about 1.3 miles north-east, Bepton Common sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Anyone responsible for a site like Midhurst CofE Primary School will know that a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. Hotels and guest houses near Bepton Common can’t easily close rooms for a leak, so it pays to find faults before guests do.

What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
