Electronic Leak Detection in Cufaude
Find out what’s going on with the flat roof membrane before you spend money on it. We carry out electronic leak detection in Cufaude, with photographs and a clear written report.

Roof by roof
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Small holes in liquid waterproofing may leak. ELD can help locate them on suitable roofs.
Bituminous membranes
Many flat roofs use bitumen-based membranes. Whether ELD suits them depends on the build-up.
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Cufaude
Some flat roofs cannot be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you before any testing. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It saves a wasted visit. If you are worried about new roofs to check before paving or planting and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Cufaude 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What this survey cannot tell you
It helps to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Carrying out the repair work
- The extent of water in the insulation
- Some conductive membranes
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the flat roof membrane as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. Older rural homes like those around Cufaude can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Advice
For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Flat roofs in Cufaude
The wider area around Cufaude has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 0.9 miles west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
Take a building like Bramley Church of England Primary School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you own a rental within reach of Bramley (Hants) station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Shop and office owners around The Malls may find that outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.

Questions from Cufaude
Is Cufaude in the area you cover?
Yes, Cufaude is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Cufaude?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
How fast do I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What’s in the survey report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It’s a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Check contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
