Electronic leak detection in Burwood Park
A leak in a flat roof frequently shows up a long way from where the water gets in. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself, to find where it has been breached. It is testing only and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. We then send you the results in a written report. If you’ve noticed breaches hidden under paving or planting and damp inside with no sign on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Burwood Park, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. 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. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Flat and commercial roofs around Burwood Park
With The Homewood about 1.7 miles south-east, Burwood Park sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Cleves School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. For landlords with property near Walton-On-Thames station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
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.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Cottages and farmhouses around Burwood Park frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, you tell us about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Burwood Park
Do you carry out roof surveys in Burwood Park?
Yes, Burwood Park is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Burwood Park listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How do I book a survey in Burwood Park?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.

What we are asked to look at in Burwood Park
If a flat roof keeps leaking after patching, the hole may be elsewhere. ELD can locate the breach more precisely.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
