About our electronic leak detection in Boorley Green
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. Repair costs are not part of the report; that’s for your roofer to price. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. We survey commercial flat roofs, green roofs and flat roof membranes, and people most often book us about waterproofing to test before it’s covered and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings.
Flat roofs in smaller places like Boorley Green can be more exposed, especially where nothing shelters them, so wind catches loose edges and trims. Felt and bitumen also age in strong sun. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away. Standing water that lingers for days after rain is another sign worth watching for.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What we are asked to look at in Boorley Green
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The leak may show some distance from where water gets in, so tracing it by eye is difficult.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
If you own a rental within reach of Hedge End station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How soon the report will arrive
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Boorley Green book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the flat roof membrane, useful for planning maintenance.

Electronic leak detection in Boorley Green: local notes
Boorley Green is within about 5 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt in the air is hard on metal flashings and fixings, and wind catches any loose edge on a flat roof. South Stoneham House, about 4.3 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Boorley Green. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Luke's Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Berrywood Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Some flat roof leaks come from walls or details. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out, so other causes can be checked. Homes in smaller places like Boorley Green can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.

What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a smaller place like Boorley Green, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets in another room
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Boorley Green
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Boorley Green?
Frequently, yes. Within about 5 miles of the sea, as Boorley Green is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Is my home in Boorley Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage testing typically needs a wet surface and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
