Electronic leak detection in Bordon: what you get
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Bordon and the rest of London and South East England. Testing usually takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. The results come in a written report with photos. Common reasons to book are damage from equipment installers and leaks that return after repairs, across liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and single-ply roofs.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Bordon often have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. If you want them looked at too, mention them when you book, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
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.

Flat and commercial roofs around Bordon
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
The streets around a church such as St Mark's Sacred Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. For a survey in Bordon, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Getting a price
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Bordon
Do you cover smaller places like Bordon?
Yes, Bordon is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Bordon 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.
Is the repair part of the test?
No. We test the membrane and report. The report shows where each breach is for your roofer to repair.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
It usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Which method do you use?
The method is chosen to suit the roof. Low-voltage testing usually needs a wet surface and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
Why get it checked now?
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. Homes in smaller places like Bordon can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Why book with us

Landlord and commercial surveys in Bordon
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
What this survey can’t tell you
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Carrying out the repair work
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below

When to book a survey in Bordon
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Damage from equipment installers
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
Anyone responsible for a site like Bordon Infant School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
