Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Bexon
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage testing is normally done with the surface wet and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed. The right method depends on the membrane and the build-up of the roof, and we will explain our choice. If neither method suits your roof, we will tell you before any testing starts. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and green roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are repairs that haven’t stopped the leak and holes around roof penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Bexon, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Electronic leak detection around Bexon
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Bexon, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St John the Baptist, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. Anyone responsible for a site like Bredgar Church of England Primary School will know that a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
To price your survey, we check:
- Height and safe access
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
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.
What we need to know
A few details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Bexon?
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs, depending on the build-up.
Common reasons to book include:
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Leaks that return after repairs
If you let a flat or house near Sittingbourne station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Bexon questions
Will you come out to Bexon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Bexon is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
What’s in the survey report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Check new waterproofing before handover
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. That is something to discuss with your roofer, and moisture readings can help.
Consider testing a new membrane before it is covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Bexon, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
