What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- When you need the report by
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Electronic leak detection in Breamore: what you get
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. Repair costs are not part of the report; that’s for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, commercial flat roofs and flat roof membranes, and people most often book us about holes left by work on the roof and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Breamore take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are usually the first part of a flat roof to go.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the flat roof membrane as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Rural addresses near Breamore can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.

- We get the roof ready for testing.

Useful tips for Breamore property owners
Getting the most from electronic leak detection starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Don’t let outlets block
File the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Make sure contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Breamore
Not every leak is in the membrane. Testing shows whether the membrane is breached, so other causes can be checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Breamore can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Electronic leak detection in Breamore: local notes
With Breamore House about 1 mile north-west, Breamore sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
For an older house near a landmark like St Boniface, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. Anyone responsible for a site like Breamore Church of England Primary School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Breamore questions
Do you cover Breamore?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Breamore?
Yes, Breamore is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No, our part is finding the breaches. The report gives your roofer the locations.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
Not every roof is suitable. Some membranes conduct electricity and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. We will tell you if yours isn’t suitable at the start.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Breamore
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the flat roof membrane, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
