Electronic leak detection in Brunswick Park, Greater London
Independent electronic leak detection in Brunswick Park. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Failed seams and laps
What we can’t see
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we can’t reach or that can’t be tested
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up is not suitable
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

About our electronic leak detection in Brunswick Park
ELD is a way of pinpointing breaches in a flat roof’s waterproofing membrane. 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 knows exactly where to repair. The results come in a report with photos. We survey commercial flat roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and single-ply roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are waterproofing to test before it’s covered and water coming in under a flat roof.
Commercial and residential blocks across London often have big flat roofs with plant, rooflights and access walkways. Every penetration and upstand is a place where a membrane can fail. For a building in Brunswick Park, access is agreed with whoever manages the roof ahead of the visit. Rooflights, plant supports and pipe entries are common places for a membrane to fail.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
When to book a survey in Brunswick Park
When the membrane is buried, holes can’t be seen at all. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs, depending on the build-up.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Damage from equipment installers
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
Take a building like St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox 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
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which limits apply to the survey
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Brunswick Park runs like any other.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Don’t let outlets block
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
File the report with your roof paperwork. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Make sure contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.

Do you cover Brunswick Park?
Yes, Brunswick Park is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Brunswick Park?

How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Brunswick Park?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
On some roofs, yes. Covered roofs limit the methods we can use so we look at the roof first.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Brunswick Park
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the flat roof membrane, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Brunswick Park
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. With Bruce Castle about 3.6 miles south-east, Brunswick Park sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you run a business near Grand Arcade, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. Landlords with a home close to New Southgate station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
