About our electronic leak detection in Broadgate
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found, with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. We don’t estimate repair costs; that is for your roofer to price. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with, where the roof still suits the method. You get a written report with photos. We survey commercial flat roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and green roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and leaks that return after repairs.
Somewhere as small as Broadgate, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. In a place like Broadgate, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
What you get with us

Electronic leak detection around Broadgate
About 4.9 miles south lies South Stoneham House, a reminder of how long the area around Broadgate has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For landlords with property near Chandlers Ford station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mark, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Anyone responsible for a site like Ampfield Church of England Primary School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Broadgate is about 2 miles north-west of Chandler's Ford, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Broadgate, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Broadgate is one of the places in Hampshire we cover. Southampton is in our area too.

We also cover the places around Broadgate: Knapp (1 mile north-west), Ampfield (1 mile west), Gosport (1 mile west), Crampmoor (2 miles west) and Lower Slackstead (2 miles north-west). We also work in nearby towns like Winchester (6 miles north-east), Eastleigh (4 miles south-east), Fareham (14 miles south-east), Andover (15 miles north), Totton (7 miles south-west) and Hedge End (8 miles south-east).

How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report. As for time on site, most surveys take a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. Older rural homes like those around Broadgate can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave side gates unlocked

For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Do not let outlets block
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. That’s something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.
What electronic leak detection does not cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Fixing the holes we find
- Some conductive membranes
- Areas we can’t reach or that cannot be tested
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Single-ply roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Green roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Roof terraces and balconies
FAQs for Broadgate
Is Broadgate within the area you cover?
Yes, Broadgate is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Broadgate 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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
How fast do I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Will you repair the leak?
No. ELD is testing only. You get the breach locations with photos for your roofer to repair.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
