About our electronic leak detection in Curbridge
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Certain membranes conduct electricity and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof is not suitable, we’ll tell you at the start. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, such as drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that can’t give results. Typical surveys look at patched roofs that still leak and holes around roof penetrations, on liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and green roofs.
In a smaller place like Curbridge, some flat roofs sit in the open, so wind catches loose edges and trims. Sun on a flat roof also ages felt and bitumen. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Curbridge, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Surveys for landlords and agents in Curbridge

How we price electronic leak detection
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Roof area
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The shape of the roof and its details
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.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- When you need the report by
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
FAQs for Curbridge
Is Curbridge within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Curbridge?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Curbridge is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Curbridge?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
Sometimes. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it and parts may need to be lifted. We’ll discuss it before we quote.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
Can every flat roof be tested?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Share any details you have and we will confirm suitability.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights

Why it is worth a survey now in Curbridge
Not every leak is in the membrane. Testing shows whether the membrane is breached, so other causes can be checked. With lower homes, common in places like Curbridge, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Record dates and spots where water appears
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photographs. Your roofer uses it to carry out repairs.
Check contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.

Electronic leak detection in Curbridge: local notes
Curbridge lies within about 5 miles of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
Whatever the street in Curbridge, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early. For landlords with property near Botley station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
