How electronic leak detection works in Church Crookham
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Certain membranes conduct electricity and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof isn’t suitable, we will tell you before any testing. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It avoids arranging a test that can’t give results. We’re frequently asked to look into waterproofing to test before it’s covered and punctures from foot traffic or tools, across flat roof membranes, liquid-applied waterproofing and green roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Church Crookham are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Why get it checked now?
A visual inspection can miss tiny holes. Electronic testing can find breaches you can’t see by eye where the roof suits it. Outbuildings and barns around Church Crookham are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
All our prices include VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You will know the price for your roof before you book.

FAQs for Church Crookham
Do you cover smaller places like Church Crookham?
Yes. Church Crookham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Church Crookham?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
Sometimes. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it, and some may need lifting. We talk this through first.
How does ELD work?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, but a hole lets it through. That is how we locate breaches you cannot see.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.

What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover

- Fixing the holes we find
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we check
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Commercial flat roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Single-ply roofs

- Roof terraces and balconies
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Find the breach before more patching
- Do not leave water getting in
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Keep outlets clear of debris
If we think the leak isn’t coming through the membrane, the report says so, so other causes can be checked.
Make sure contractors protect the waterproofing when fitting equipment. Check the roof after they’ve finished.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Church Crookham?
When the membrane is buried, holes can’t be seen at all. ELD can work on some covered roofs, depending on the build-up.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Waterproofing to test before it is covered
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Hart Shopping Centre, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
