Conyer Electronic Leak Detection
Find out the condition of the flat roof membrane at your property in Conyer from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Damage from equipment installers
- Leaks showing away from the breach
Different roofs, different checks
EPDM rubber roofs
EPDM is a long-lasting flat roof membrane, but can still be punctured.
Green and ballasted roofs
ELD is easier on a new roof before it is covered.
Electronic leak detection in Conyer: what you get
ELD can be carried out in more than one way. Low-voltage testing is normally done with the surface wet and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed. The right method depends on the membrane and the build-up of the roof, and we will explain our choice. We will say if your roof doesn’t suit either method before any testing starts. If you’re worried about repairs that haven’t stopped the leak and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Conyer, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What we cannot see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Areas we cannot reach or that can’t be tested
- Fixing the holes we find
- Moisture spread under the membrane
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before booking. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Conyer
- Commercial flat roofs
- Single-ply roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Green roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Flat roof membranes
Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Share any drawings of the roof
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photos. Pass it to your roofer to repair the breach points.
Make sure contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
What affects the price in Conyer
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You will know the price for the job before booking.

Other services in Conyer
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
FAQs for Conyer
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Conyer?
Often, yes. Within about 1 mile of the sea, as Conyer is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Conyer?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What is electronic leak detection?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. A breach lets the current through, which shows us where the hole is.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
In some cases. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through first.
What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. On timing, it typically takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. Cottages and farmhouses around Conyer often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave side gates unlocked
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Conyer
Conyer is within about 1 mile of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Teynham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
