Local flat roofs in Burridge
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Burridge, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
For landlords with property near Swanwick station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take a building like Whiteley Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

About our electronic leak detection in Burridge
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs, 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 when conditions allow. Just ask about your roof. We survey roof terraces and balconies, liquid-applied waterproofing and single-ply roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks under green or ballasted roofs and patched roofs that still leak.
Older buildings in small places like Burridge may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
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.
Roof by roof
Bituminous membranes
Many flat roofs use bitumen-based membranes. The build-up decides which method will work.
EPDM rubber roofs
Certain rubber membranes are conductive, which can rule out some methods. We will say if the test will not work.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer.
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.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Burridge
Is Burridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Burridge is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burridge?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
What’s the price of ELD?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. To get a quote, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Share any details you have and we’ll confirm suitability.
Is the repair part of the test?
No, our part is finding the breaches. The report gives your roofer the locations.
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
All our prices include VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You’ll know the price for your roof before you book.
What to tell us when you get in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- What made you get in touch
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Don’t leave water getting in
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
If we think the leak is not coming through the membrane, the report says so, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Older rural homes like those around Burridge can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
