How electronic leak detection works in Corhampton
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. Repair costs aren’t part of the report, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. If you are worried about leaks that return after repairs and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial flat roofs, roof terraces and balconies and single-ply roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Corhampton, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Let us know about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Do not let outlets block
File the report with your roof paperwork. It is a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.

What else we do in Corhampton
Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply membranes
Punctures from foot traffic and equipment are common on single-ply roofs. ELD can locate them.
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous roofs often have laps and old repairs where breaches occur. We test where the roof suits it.
What we can’t see
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Repairing the breaches (that is for your roofer)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Common questions in Corhampton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Corhampton?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Corhampton in the area you cover?
Yes, Corhampton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Corhampton as anywhere else.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. What sits on the membrane affects the method, so we check the build-up first.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as 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.
What does electronic leak detection do?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached so we can pinpoint it.
Local flat roofs in Corhampton
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. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Historic houses such as Hinton Ampner House, about 4.4 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Corhampton goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Corhampton Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
Corhampton is about 7 miles north-west of Horndean, in Hampshire. We visit Corhampton as part of our work across Hampshire. Corhampton is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for electronic leak detection. There is also a page for Southampton.

Common roof problems in Corhampton
New membranes can have defects from installation. ELD on a new roof can show holes before they cause leaks.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Failed seams and laps
Anyone responsible for a site like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
What to check before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which limits apply to the survey
What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It normally takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. In a small place like Corhampton, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
