Why get it checked now?

How electronic leak detection works in Clanfield
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. ELD tests the waterproofing directly, to find where it has been breached. We test and report, and the repair is for your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. We then send you the results in a written report. If you’re worried about new roofs to check before paving or planting and leaking laps in the waterproofing, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on roof terraces and balconies, liquid-applied waterproofing and commercial flat roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Clanfield, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Around Clanfield, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Electronic leak detection in Clanfield: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. 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 Rowlands Castle station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. Anyone responsible for a site like Clanfield Junior School will know that a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Limit access to the roof
- Act on new leaks promptly

File the report with your roof paperwork. It is a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when fitting equipment. Check the roof after they’ve finished.

Signs you need electronic leak detection in Clanfield
When the membrane is buried, holes can’t be seen at all. ELD can work on some covered roofs, depending on the build-up.
Look out for signs like these:
- Holes left by work on the roof
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St James, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
