What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Homes around Coley Park often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked

Advice
Electronic leak detection in Coley Park
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Coley Park and the rest of London and South East England. Testing typically takes a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. You get a report with photographs. We survey single-ply roofs, commercial flat roofs and flat roof membranes, and people most often book us about holes left by work on the roof and leaks through a covered membrane.
In smaller places like Coley Park, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let plenty of water into the room below. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it, from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber and GRP. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Coley Park: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Coley Park?
Yes, Coley Park is covered. We cover the whole of 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.
Do you look at commercial flat roofs near Coley Park, like hotels?
Yes. As well as homes, we look at flat roofs on offices, hotels, blocks of flats and commercial units. For a bigger roof, you will get a quote based on the building, and roof access is agreed with you ahead of the visit.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will you repair the leak?
No. We test the membrane and report. The report shows where each breach is for your roofer to repair.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Common roof problems in Coley Park
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Holes left by work on the roof
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
If you own a rental within reach of Reading West station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What insurance they carry
