What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Height and safe access
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
All our prices include VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You will know the exact price before you book.

Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Bossingham
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing, not every cause of water getting in. Water coming through walls, copings, rooflights or plumbing will not show on the test. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. It won’t show water getting in through brickwork or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. We’ll point you to the likely next step. We survey flat roof membranes, green roofs and roof terraces and balconies, and people most frequently book us about leaks showing away from the breach and holes around roof penetrations.
In a village or hamlet like Bossingham, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What else we do in Bossingham
What happens if roof problems are left?
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. In a place like Bossingham, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

FAQs for Bossingham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bossingham?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Bossingham?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Bossingham is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. Covered roofs limit the methods we can use, so we check the build-up first.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
Not every roof is suitable. Certain membranes are conductive, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. We will tell you if yours isn’t suitable before testing.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
What we cannot see
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- The extent of water in the insulation
- Areas we cannot reach or that cannot be tested
- Repairing the breaches (that’s for your roofer)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Bossingham
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Single-ply roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Green roofs
- Flat roof membranes
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Make sure contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Bossingham
With Acrise Place about 4.9 miles south-east, Bossingham sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently 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. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Chartham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. If you look after a building such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. In a small place like Bossingham, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
