Electronic leak detection in Coneyhurst
ELD finds breaches in the membrane, not every cause of water getting in. Water coming through walls, copings, rooflights or plumbing will not show on the test. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so. 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. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and flat roof membranes, and people most frequently book us about damage from equipment installers and gaps at membrane joints.
Some older homes in villages like Coneyhurst are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Coneyhurst
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. The wider area around Coneyhurst has a long history of building, with Old Place Manor about 4.8 miles south-west. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Weald School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you let a flat or house near Billingshurst station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Coneyhurst is about 6 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Anywhere in Coneyhurst, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Our West Sussex coverage includes Coneyhurst and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our Crawley page.

How we price electronic leak detection
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The size of the roof
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. We will confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a small place like Coneyhurst, access is usually 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Let us know about parking near the property
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

Coneyhurst questions
Will you come out to Coneyhurst?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Coneyhurst?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How much time does ELD need?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. You will know roughly how long before we start.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Coneyhurst?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Coneyhurst
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Useful tips for Coneyhurst property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Don’t leave water getting in
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
If we think the leak is not coming through the membrane, the report says so, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Do not leave a flat roof leak running. Water under a membrane can spread.
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Testing a new membrane before it is covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Once layers are added, finding a breach is harder. Older and listed buildings around Coneyhurst may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
