Electronic Leak Detection in Cookham Dean
An experienced roof surveyor for electronic leak detection in Cookham Dean. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Electronic leak detection in Cookham Dean
You get a report showing the location of each breach, with photographs. Your roofer can then repair those points instead of hunting for the leak. We don’t estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. We’re often asked to look into repairs that haven’t stopped the leak and punctures from foot traffic or tools, across commercial flat roofs, flat roof membranes and green roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Cookham Dean are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Questions from Cookham Dean
Do you carry out roof surveys in Cookham Dean?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Cookham Dean is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Cookham Dean within the area you cover?
Yes, Cookham Dean is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Which method do you use?
We choose the method that suits the roof. You will know which method we plan to use before we start.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.

Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Why act early in Cookham Dean
Some breaches are too small to see. ELD picks up breaches a visual check might miss, on suitable membranes. In a small place like Cookham Dean, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Useful tips for Cookham Dean property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Find the breach before more patching
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photos. Your roofer uses it to carry out repairs.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
Different roofs, different checks
Bituminous membranes
Many flat roofs use bitumen-based membranes. Whether ELD suits them depends on the build-up.
Single-ply membranes
Punctures from foot traffic and equipment are common on single-ply roofs. Testing helps find them.
Flat and commercial roofs around Cookham Dean
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. About 2.5 miles east lies Cliveden, a reminder of how long the area around Cookham Dean has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Cookham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Cookham Dean CofE Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
