Electronic leak detection in Bewbush: what you get
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Bewbush and the rest of London and the South East. A visit normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. The results come in a written report with photos. We are frequently asked to look into water coming in under a flat roof and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings, on liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and commercial flat roofs.
Around a smaller place like Bewbush, flat roofs typically cover extensions, garages and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let a good many water into the room below. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it, from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber and GRP. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
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.

What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Areas we can’t reach or that can’t be tested
- Carrying out the repair work
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Green roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Single-ply roofs
- Flat roof membranes
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Limit access to the roof
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we’ll note it, so other causes can be checked.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
How the survey changes by roof type
Inverted and paved roofs
Paving and terraces cover the membrane. Suitability depends on the layers.
EPDM rubber roofs
Whether an EPDM roof can be tested depends on the membrane and build-up. We check this first.
Questions from Bewbush
Do you cover smaller places like Bewbush?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is my home in Bewbush listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Local flat roofs in Bewbush
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. Crawley, which Bewbush is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Flat-roofed garages, porches and extensions from that era may have been re-covered more than once, or not at all.
If you live in an older home near St Alban's, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. If you own a rental within reach of Ifield station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. If you run a business near County Mall, a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks.
Bewbush is about 1 mile west of Crawley, in West Sussex. Surveys in Bewbush work the same way as everywhere we cover: a close look at whatever is safely visible, photos and a clear written report. Across West Sussex, we cover Bewbush and the places around it.

What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Building height and the viewpoints available
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What’s prompted the survey
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The property’s address and postcode
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Being in a smaller place like Bewbush doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
How to prepare
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Booking a survey
