What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. Around Bramshott Chase, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about parking near the property

How electronic leak detection works in Bramshott Chase
ELD is a way of pinpointing breaches in a flat roof’s waterproofing membrane. It uses a small electrical current that passes through the membrane only where there’s a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see, so your roofer can repair them. The results come in a report with photos. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, flat roof membranes and single-ply roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and new membranes needing a check before handover.
In a village or hamlet like Bramshott Chase, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Bramshott Chase: your questions answered
Do you cover Bramshott Chase?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Bramshott Chase is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Bramshott Chase listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
Sometimes. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane, and some may need lifting. We talk this through first.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What is electronic leak detection?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Bramshott Chase
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the flat roof membrane.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Common roof problems in Bramshott Chase
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The leak may show some distance from where water gets in, so tracing it by eye is difficult.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Their track record with similar roofs
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Do not let outlets block
Questions about the results are welcome. We can talk you through the findings.
Check contractors protect the waterproofing when fitting equipment. Have the roof looked at after other work.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Bramshott Chase
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- What made you get in touch
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The property’s address and postcode
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Electronic leak detection in Bramshott Chase: local notes
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Take a building like Woolmer Hill School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Luke, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.
