Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Burley
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. Repair costs are not part of the report; that’s for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed holes left by work on the roof and leaks that return after repairs, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Burley, 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. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
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 do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a hamlet or village like Burley, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.

What’s the price of ELD?
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. To get a quote, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What’s the best way to book?

Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
In some cases. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it, and some may need lifting. We’ll discuss it before we quote.
Common roof problems in Burley
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs, depending on the build-up.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- New membranes needing a check before handover
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.
Before you book anyone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
What electronic leak detection looks like in Burley
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Avon Tyrrell House, about 2.3 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Burley. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Sway station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Anyone responsible for a site like Burley Primary School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Don’t leave water getting in

- Test new membranes before covering them
Questions about the results are welcome. We will explain what was found and what it means.
Consider testing a new membrane before it is covered. It is easier to find holes before more layers are added.

A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Landlords and letting agents in Burley book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof membrane, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
