Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Cox Green
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage testing is usually done with the surface wet, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane. The right method depends on the membrane and the build-up of the roof and we explain which we will use. If neither method suits your roof, we’ll tell you at the outset. If you’ve noticed leaking laps in the waterproofing and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced, we can find out what’s behind it.
Around Cox Green, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. If you want them looked at too, mention them when you book, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Useful tips for Cox Green property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Get leaks traced quickly
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we’ll note it, so other causes can be checked.
Act on leaks quickly. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Cox Green
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- House, block, shop or office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Roof area
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
What to let us know when you contact us
These details help when you contact us:
- Anything about access we should know
- When you need the report by
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
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. Do not go up yourself.
Cox Green: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Cox Green?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Cox Green is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Cox Green is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Which method do you use?
The method is chosen to suit the roof. Low-voltage testing normally needs a wet surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.

When to book a survey in Cox Green
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs though it depends on the layers.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
- Patched roofs that still leak
If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How long the report takes to arrive
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Will the report include photos?
The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Cox Green is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Cox Green
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. The wider area around Cox Green has a long history of building, with Dorney Court about 3.2 miles east. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Wessex Primary School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you let a flat or house near Maidenhead station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
