Conford questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Conford?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Conford?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
In some cases. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane, and some may need lifting. We’ll discuss it before we quote.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Conford
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends, depending on the weather. Tell us about your roof to find out more. We survey single-ply roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and flat roof membranes, and common reasons people get in touch are patched roofs that still leak and leaks showing away from the breach.
In a small place like Conford, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Why get it checked now?
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What you can safely check yourself
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Somewhere like Conford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Common roof problems in Conford
When the membrane is buried, holes can’t be seen at all. ELD can work on some covered roofs, depending on the build-up.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Holes left by work on the roof
If you look after a building like Liphook Infant School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
What we look for on each type of roof
EPDM rubber roofs
Certain rubber membranes are conductive which can limit electronic testing. We will say if the test won’t work.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer but holes and thin areas can occur. Suitability for ELD depends on the system.
Local flat roofs in Conford
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
