Electronic Leak Detection in Burdrop
A careful look at the flat roof membrane at your property in Burdrop, with photographs and a written report.
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- New membranes needing a check before handover
Electronic leak detection in Burdrop: what you get
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends when conditions allow. Let us know about your roof to find out more. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, commercial flat roofs and flat roof membranes, and people most frequently book us about a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and gaps at membrane joints.
In a small place like Burdrop, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we can’t see
It is a careful look at the flat roof membrane, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Areas we cannot reach or that cannot be tested
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Flat roof membranes
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Green roofs
- Single-ply roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Burdrop
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- House, block, shop or office
- Roof area
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Anything about access we should know
- The property’s address and postcode
- What made you get in touch
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Local flat roofs in Burdrop
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. With Broughton Castle about 3.8 miles east, Burdrop sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as 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.
Take an older house close to Church of Holy Trinity: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. Anyone responsible for a site like Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School will know that a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. For a village or hamlet like Burdrop, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Why it’s worth a survey now in Burdrop
Cutting open a flat roof to find a leak can cause more damage. Electronic testing finds the hole first so your roofer knows where to work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Burdrop can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
