How we price electronic leak detection

- The roof’s overall size
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
All our prices include VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Electronic leak detection in Camberley
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing, not every cause of water getting in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. The test shows breaches in the membrane, not water coming through masonry or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. We’ll point you to the likely next step. If you are worried about stains far from any visible defect and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a town like Camberley, plenty of shops, schools and business units have flat roofs. Out of sight, they tend to be forgotten until a leak appears. A careful look at outlets, upstands and the membrane itself shows where it stands. Tell us who manages the building so access to the roof can be arranged.

Flat and commercial roofs around Camberley
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Camberley station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Prior Heath Infant School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Some conductive membranes
- Areas we can’t reach or that cannot be tested
- Fixing the holes we find

- Green roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Commercial flat roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Single-ply roofs
Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Common roof problems in Camberley
Holes in a membrane often come from feet, tools or debris. Many are tiny, but still let water through.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damage from equipment installers
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Leaks that return after repairs
If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

FAQs for Camberley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Camberley?
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.
What do I need to do before a survey in Camberley?
Very little. Keep pets out of the way, leave side gates unlocked and have any old roof paperwork handy.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How long will testing take?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. You will know roughly how long before we start.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.

Why act early in Camberley
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. Around Camberley, water from a roof defect often goes unseen for a while, soaking loft insulation, wall tops and timbers. By the time a stain appears on a ceiling, there is more to put right.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
