Electronic leak detection in Brooks Green, West Sussex
Get a clear view of the flat roof membrane at a property in Brooks Green from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. Somewhere as small as Brooks Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
How electronic leak detection works in Brooks Green
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Brooks Green and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. The results come in a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, on roof terraces and balconies, flat roof membranes and single-ply roofs.
Somewhere as small as Brooks Green, 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 you book.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Why it is worth a survey now in Brooks Green
A visual inspection can miss tiny holes. Electronic testing can find breaches you cannot see by eye, on suitable membranes. In a place like Brooks Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: 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 we are asked to look at in Brooks Green
A breach can be left during installation. ELD on a new roof can show holes before they cause leaks.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Waterproofing to test before it is covered
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Barns Green Primary School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Their drone registration, if they fly one

Local flat roofs in Brooks Green
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Landlords with a home close to Billingshurst station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

- Roofs whose membrane or build-up is not suitable

Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Brooks Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Brooks Green?
Yes, Brooks Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Brooks Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Brooks Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. For a quote, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
Testing normally takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when you book.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Don’t let outlets block
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Share any drawings of the roof
After your roofer repairs the breaches, a retest can confirm them if the build-up allows.
Consider testing a new membrane before it’s covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
