Electronic Leak Detection in Bray Wick
Get a clear view of the flat roof membrane at a property in Bray Wick from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
When to book a survey in Bray Wick
Repeated leaks after repairs suggest the real breach hasn’t been found. ELD can locate the breach more precisely.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Failed seams and laps
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
If you live in an older home near St Michael's Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

How electronic leak detection works in Bray Wick
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It can be used to trace an existing leak or to test a new membrane before it’s covered. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Tell us about your roof to find out more. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and commercial flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks under green or ballasted roofs and stains far from any visible defect.
Some older homes in villages like Bray Wick are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Local flat roofs in Bray Wick
Dorney Court, about 1.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bray Wick. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For landlords with property near Maidenhead station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. Anyone responsible for a site like Holyport CofE Primary School will know that a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Bray Wick
Do you look at commercial flat roofs near Bray Wick, such as hotels?
Yes, commercial buildings, hotels included, are part of the work. Access to the roof is sorted out with whoever manages the building before the day.
Is Bray Wick within the area you cover?
Yes, Bray Wick is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Will you repair the leak?
No, our part is finding the breaches. Your roofer uses the report to target the repair.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
What does electronic leak detection do?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. A breach lets the current through, which shows us where the hole is.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Some flat roof leaks come from walls or details. Testing shows whether the membrane is breached so attention can go to the right place. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bray Wick can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In a small place like Bray Wick, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- 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.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
