How electronic leak detection works in Brockbridge
Electronic leak detection, or ELD, finds holes in flat roof waterproofing membranes. It works with an electrical current which can only get through the membrane at a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see, so your roofer can repair them. You get a written report with photos of each breach found. We survey roof terraces and balconies, flat roof membranes and green roofs, and people most often book us about holes left by work on the roof and leaks that return after repairs.
Somewhere as small as Brockbridge, 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. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What electronic leak detection does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
- The extent of water in the insulation

Why it’s worth a survey now in Brockbridge
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. For an older or listed building in a place like Brockbridge, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You will know the price for your survey before you book.

Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.

When to book a survey in Brockbridge
If a flat roof keeps leaking after patching, the hole may be elsewhere. Electronic testing helps pinpoint it.
Signs worth acting on include:
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Stains far from any visible defect
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and All Saints, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Their insurance cover
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Rural addresses near Brockbridge can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Questions from Brockbridge
Will you come out to Brockbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Brockbridge?
Yes, Brockbridge is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Brockbridge as anywhere else.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No, the test finds the breaches and your roofer repairs them. The report gives your roofer the locations.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
How does ELD work?
The waterproofing membrane normally stops an electrical current, so wherever there’s a hole, it passes through. That is how we locate breaches you can’t see.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Local flat roofs in Brockbridge
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Take a building like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School: a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
