About our electronic leak detection in Brompton
You get a report showing the location of each breach, with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. We do not estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. If you’re worried about failed seams and laps and holes around roof penetrations, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Brompton, some flat roofs sit in the open, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Sun on a flat roof also ages felt and bitumen. Splits, blisters and lifting edges are what to look out for. Standing water that lingers for days after rain is another sign worth watching for.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Brompton?
Other trades on the roof can puncture the waterproofing. Fixings, equipment and foot traffic can leave small holes.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Damage from equipment installers
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Brompton, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What happens after the report arrives
Why it is worth a survey now in Brompton
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. On a bungalow or cottage around Brompton, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Brompton, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Electronic leak detection in Brompton: local notes
Brompton is within about 2 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Take an older house close to Brompton Garrison Church: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. Restoration House lies about 1.1 miles west, so building around Brompton goes back a long way. Older houses nearby frequently have flat roofs added much later, built to very different standards from the main roof.

What we look for on each type of roof
Liquid-applied waterproofing
What lies under a liquid coating decides if ELD will work.
Green and ballasted roofs
Green roofs and ballasted roofs cover the waterproofing. Testing may still be possible, depending on the build-up.
What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The size of the roof
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The property’s address and postcode
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What this survey can’t tell you
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Carrying out the repair work
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Moisture spread under the membrane
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
