Electronic Leak Detection in Bure Park
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Bure Park. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. A visit to Bure Park is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Arrange a survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Bure Park
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing but not every way water gets in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. It will not show water getting in through brickwork or around frames. The report makes clear what was and wasn’t tested. We’ll point you to the likely next step. If you’re worried about a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and leaking laps in the waterproofing, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on liquid-applied waterproofing, flat roof membranes and single-ply roofs alike.
In a smaller place like Bure Park, some flat roofs sit in the open, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Felt and bitumen also age in strong sun. Splits, blisters and lifting edges are what to look out for, along with water that sits after rain. Standing water that lingers for days after rain is another sign worth watching for.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why act early in Bure Park
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Finding the breach sooner limits that. On a bungalow or cottage around Bure Park, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Local flat roofs in Bure Park
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For an older house near a landmark such as Emmanuel Church Bicester, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start. If you own a rental within reach of Bicester North station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bure Park Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Bure Park questions
How do I find out if my home in Bure Park is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Bure Park within the area you cover?
Yes. Bure Park is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How do you choose the testing method?
The roof decides the method. You will know which method we plan to use before we start.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
It normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too.
