Electronic leak detection in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
You get a report showing the location of each breach, with photographs. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. We don’t estimate repair costs; that’s for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed leaking laps in the waterproofing and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Shops, surgeries, schools and small business units in towns like Bletchley and Fenny Stratford often have flat roofs. Out of sight, they tend to be forgotten until a leak appears. A survey, or electronic testing where the membrane suits it, shows what’s going on. Let us know who manages the building so access to the roof can be arranged.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

How we price electronic leak detection
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Height and safe access
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

FAQs for Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Do you cover Bletchley and Fenny Stratford?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How do I book a survey in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Local flat roofs in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. With Bletchley Park about 0.7 miles north-west, Bletchley and Fenny Stratford sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building such as Knowles Primary School, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. For landlords with property near Bletchley station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well but it depends on the product and layers.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Small holes in liquid waterproofing may leak. Where the roof suits it, testing can find them.
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Semi-detached and terraced homes in a town like Bletchley and Fenny Stratford often share a roof line with the neighbours, so shared parts are looked at as far as they can be seen from your property. It’s useful to know about previous repairs, leaks or recent work, so time on site goes where it’s needed.
- First, you let us know about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Related advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Testing a new membrane before it is covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Covered roofs are harder to test. On a house in a town like Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, wet loft insulation stops working and can stay damp for a long time. That is an extra cost on top of the roof work itself.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Limit access to the roof
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Let us know about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
Questions about the results are welcome. We can talk you through the findings.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
