Electronic leak detection in Broomer's Corner: what you get
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes, 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, depending on the weather. Just ask about your roof. If you’re worried about water coming in under a flat roof and holes around roof penetrations, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Broomer's Corner, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Roof area
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere as small as Broomer's Corner, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, you let us know about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Before we arrive
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day

Broomer's Corner questions
How do I find out if my home in Broomer's Corner is listed?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Broomer's Corner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage testing typically needs a wet surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Broomer's Corner?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Electronic leak detection around Broomer's Corner
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Take an older house close to St Mary's Mission Church: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Broomer's Corner is about 7 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex.

Different roofs, different checks
EPDM rubber roofs
Some EPDM membranes conduct electricity which can limit electronic testing. We’ll say if the test won’t work.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Testing a liquid-applied roof depends on what’s beneath the coating.
Why get it checked now?
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Locating it early helps limit the damage. For an older or listed building in a place like Broomer's Corner, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
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. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

Common roof problems in Broomer's Corner
A breach can be left during installation. ELD on a new roof can show holes before they cause leaks.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Gaps at membrane joints
If you look after a building such as William Penn School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Their report turnaround times
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
