About our electronic leak detection in Clanville
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. ELD tests the waterproofing directly, to find where it has been breached. It’s testing only, 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’ve noticed patched roofs that still leak and leaks showing away from the breach, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Clanville take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Clanville
Do you cover smaller places like Clanville?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Clanville?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Local flat roofs in Clanville
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Take a building like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. The streets around a church like St Margaret's Chapel are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.

Common roof problems in Clanville
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The stain inside can be far from the hole which makes it hard to find by looking.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Gaps at membrane joints
- New membranes needing a check before handover
Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What insurance they carry
- What the survey will not cover
Roof by roof
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes are common on commercial and newer roofs. Laps and fixings are where holes often appear.
Inverted and paved roofs
We will tell you if your inverted or paved roof isn’t suitable.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. ELD shows the actual breach points. Around Clanville, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. In a small place like Clanville, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.

Before the survey
