Crampmoor: your questions answered
Do you cover Crampmoor?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Crampmoor is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Crampmoor listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can every flat roof be tested?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Tell us what you know about the roof and we’ll check whether ELD will work.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
It normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. Covered roofs limit the methods we can use so we check the roof first.
What’s the price of ELD?
We quote for each roof individually. Let us know about the roof and where it leaks. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a quote.
Electronic leak detection in Crampmoor
ELD can be carried out in more than one way. Low-voltage testing is typically done with the surface wet and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed. Which one suits depends on the membrane and the layers of the roof and we explain which we will use. We’ll say if your roof doesn’t suit either method before any testing starts. We survey green roofs, commercial flat roofs and single-ply roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and waterproofing to test before it’s covered.
Older buildings in small places like Crampmoor may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

How the survey changes by roof type
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs often have seams and patches that can leak. Testing depends on the roof.
EPDM rubber roofs
Whether an EPDM roof can be tested depends on the membrane and build-up. We check before we quote.
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
Questions about the results are welcome. We can talk you through the findings.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
Flat roofs in Crampmoor
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Historic houses like Mottisfont Abbey, about 4.4 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Crampmoor goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Romsey station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as St Swithun's Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. Take a building like Cupernham Infant School: a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. ELD aims to locate the breach first so your roofer knows where to work. Outbuildings and barns around Crampmoor are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
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.

How it works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Rural addresses near Crampmoor can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- How wet the insulation is
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
