About our electronic leak detection in Berrylands
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We’ll discuss it with you when we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful, as they show what lies beneath the surface. If testing is not possible, we’ll say so. If you are worried about holes around roof penetrations and leaking laps in the waterproofing, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Offices, shops and blocks of flats across London frequently have large flat roofs with plant, rooflights and walkways. Each pipe, upstand and fixing through the covering is a possible weak point. For a building in Berrylands, access is agreed with whoever manages the roof before the visit. Plant bases, rooflights and cable entries are all places where water can get in.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Berrylands
How do I find out if my home in Berrylands is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Berrylands?
Yes, Berrylands is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you repair the leak?
No. ELD is testing only. The report shows where each breach is so your roofer can fix them.
Flat roofs in Berrylands
With Hampton Court Palace about 2.4 miles west, Berrylands sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Take a building like Christ Church CofE Primary School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. For landlords with property near Berrylands station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Berrylands
To price your survey, we check:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know 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 more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In Berrylands, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- 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.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. Any roof job in Berrylands means planning around parking, neighbours and access. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly.

- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- Areas we cannot reach or that cannot be tested
- Fixing the holes we find

Common roof problems in Berrylands
Flat roof membranes can be punctured by foot traffic, dropped tools or debris. Many are tiny but water still finds them.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Failed seams and laps
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Berrylands, along with any off-street space.
