How electronic leak detection works in Crowdhill
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself, to find where it has been breached. It’s testing only and leave the repair to your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. We then send you the results in a written report. We survey single-ply roofs, flat roof membranes and roof terraces and balconies, and the problems we are asked to look at most are new roofs to check before paving or planting and leaks showing away from the breach.
Some older homes in villages like Crowdhill are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Crowdhill
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Outbuildings and barns around Crowdhill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

Common questions in Crowdhill
How do I find out if my home in Crowdhill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Crowdhill within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you repair the leak?
No. We test the membrane and report. The report shows where each breach is so your roofer can fix them.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Which method do you use?
The roof decides the method. You’ll know which method we plan to use before we start.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Don’t keep patching the same spot
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. We can talk you through the findings.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.
How the survey works
It helps 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 typically takes a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. For a village or hamlet like Crowdhill, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Electronic leak detection in Crowdhill: local notes
The wider area around Crowdhill has a long history of building, with South Stoneham House about 4.4 miles south-west. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. If you let a flat or house near Eastleigh station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take a building like Wyvern Technology College: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground 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 the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What we cannot see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Fixing the holes we find
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
