How electronic leak detection works in Bodicote
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Bodicote and the rest of London and South East England. Testing typically takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. You get a report with photographs. We survey flat roof membranes, green roofs and single-ply roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damage from equipment installers and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause.
Around Bodicote, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. It is worth mentioning them when you book, so the visit can include them. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
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 Bodicote
Do you cover smaller places like Bodicote?
Yes, Bodicote is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is Bodicote in the area you cover?
Yes, Bodicote is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Bodicote as anywhere else.
What is electronic leak detection?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, so wherever there is a hole, it passes through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
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. For a quote, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How much time does ELD need?
It depends on the size of the roof and its build-up. We will give you an idea when we quote.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. Electronic testing finds the hole first so your roofer knows where to work. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Bodicote, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

Flat and commercial roofs around Bodicote
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. About 2.9 miles west lies Broughton Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Bodicote has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. Landlords with a home close to Banbury station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If you look after a building such as Longford Park Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
