Electronic leak detection in Blendworth: what you get
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or to test a new membrane before it’s covered. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Let us know about your roof to find out more. If you are worried about new roofs to check before paving or planting and punctures from foot traffic or tools, we can find out what’s behind it, on commercial flat roofs, green roofs and single-ply roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Blendworth, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Older and listed buildings around Blendworth may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

FAQs for Blendworth
Do you cover smaller places like Blendworth?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Blendworth is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How quickly is the report sent?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
How is ELD priced?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. To get a quote, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- How wet the insulation is
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up is not suitable
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Blendworth?
On a flat roof, water spreads under the waterproofing. The stain inside can be far from the hole which makes it hard to find by looking.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Holes left by work on the roof
If you let a flat or house near Rowlands Castle station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
What to check before booking
- What experience they bring
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Around Blendworth, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.

What else we do in Blendworth
What we look for on each type of roof
EPDM rubber roofs
Some EPDM membranes conduct electricity which can limit electronic testing. We’ll say if the test will not work.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid waterproofing has no laps, but can still have thin spots or holes. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
Flat roofs in Blendworth
Blendworth lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. Historic houses like Uppark, about 4.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Blendworth goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Horndean Church of England Junior School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Holy Trinity, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
Blendworth is about 1 mile north-east of Horndean, in Hampshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Blendworth can all book electronic leak detection, with a written report and photographs every time.
