About our electronic leak detection in Criddlestyle
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We’ll discuss it with you when we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful because they show what’s under the surface. If testing is not possible, we will say so. If you’ve noticed breaches around outlets and penetrations and breaches hidden under paving or planting, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Criddlestyle, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Somewhere as small as Criddlestyle, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Note where any stains or damp appear

What else we do in Criddlestyle
Your questions about electronic leak detection in Criddlestyle
Is my home in Criddlestyle listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Criddlestyle in the area you cover?
Yes, Criddlestyle is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Can every flat roof be tested?
ELD doesn’t suit every roof. Certain membranes are conductive and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. We will tell you if yours is not suitable before testing.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
How fast do I get the report?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How big the roof is
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
For a price for electronic leak detection in Criddlestyle, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Some details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot 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.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Find the breach before more patching
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Use boards when working on the roof
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. That’s something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
Act on leaks quickly. Water under a membrane can spread.
Flat roofs in Criddlestyle
Historic houses like Breamore House, about 3 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Criddlestyle goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you live in an older home near St Giles, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start. Anyone responsible for a site like The Burgate School and Sixth Form will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
