How electronic leak detection works in Deadwater
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 before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It avoids arranging a test that can’t give results. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, commercial flat roofs and flat roof membranes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are failed seams and laps and leaks under green or ballasted roofs.
Around a smaller place like Deadwater, flat roofs normally cover extensions, garages and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let plenty of water into the room below. What it’s covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Sections we can’t safely access
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Fixing the holes we find

Electronic leak detection around Deadwater
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. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. The streets around a church like St Mark's Sacred Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you look after a building such as Mill Chase Academy, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
Deadwater is about 1 mile east of Bordon, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Deadwater, we can carry out electronic leak detection at your property. Deadwater is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for electronic leak detection. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.
We work across GU35 for electronic leak detection and the streets around it. Whether your property is on Alma Road, Varna Road and Rowan Road or anywhere close by, we can survey it. If you’re just outside Deadwater, we cover Lindford (1 mile north-east), Bordon (1 mile west), Hollywater (1 mile south), Standford (1 mile south-east) and Pinewood Village (1 mile north-west).

Near you in Deadwater

Why get it checked now?
Not every leak is in the membrane. Testing shows whether the membrane is breached, so other causes can be checked. On a bungalow or cottage around Deadwater, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You’ll know the price for the job before you book.

Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Deadwater
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Booking your survey
We will typically ask about:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- When you need the report by
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Parking around Deadwater is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, tell us about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Deadwater?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.

The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
