Electronic leak detection in Busbridge
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, so your roofer prices the work. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed holes left by work on the roof and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Busbridge may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Busbridge
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 2.7 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Busbridge goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Busbridge Infant School will know that schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. Landlords with a home close to Godalming station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Questions from Busbridge
Will you come out to Busbridge?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Busbridge in the area you cover?
Yes, Busbridge is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Busbridge as anywhere else.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
In some cases. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it and parts may need to be lifted. We will discuss it before we quote.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
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. For a quote, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Somewhere like Busbridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Book a survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Common roof problems in Busbridge
Joints and laps in a membrane can fail over time. A gap that’s hard to see can let water in long before anyone notices.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Leaks that return after repairs
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Baptist Church, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens after the report arrives
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Are they insured for the work?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- How wet the insulation is
- Areas we can’t reach or that cannot be tested
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Busbridge
- Single-ply roofs
- Green roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Commercial flat roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
Why get it checked now?
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. ELD shows the actual breach points. Older cottages and farmhouses around Busbridge can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
All our prices include VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What you get with us
- 20+ years’ experience
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Surveys seven days a week
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
