About our electronic leak detection in Brooklands
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It can be used to trace an existing leak or check a new membrane before handover. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays when conditions allow. Just ask about your roof. Common reasons to book are leaks that return after repairs and leaking laps in the waterproofing, on green roofs, flat roof membranes and commercial flat roofs.
Around Brooklands, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. If you want them looked at too, mention them when you book. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Brooklands
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.
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 with budgets and planning.
What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- How wet the insulation is
- Repairing the breaches (that’s for your roofer)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Commercial flat roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Single-ply roofs
- Green roofs
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Roof area
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Brooklands is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Book a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Questions from Brooklands
Do you cover smaller places like Brooklands?
Yes, Brooklands is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you look at commercial flat roofs near Brooklands, like 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.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
When does the report arrive?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Signs you need electronic leak detection in Brooklands
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
Look out for signs like these:
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Waterproofing to test before it is covered
The streets around a church such as Church of St Charles Borromeo are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Flat and commercial roofs around Brooklands
There are several hotels within about a mile and a half of Brooklands, and like offices and blocks, hotels often sit under flat roofs. If you look after one, a leak through a flat roof can put a room out of use. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For landlords with property near Weybridge station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. For hotels and guest houses around Brooklands, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest.
