Electronic leak detection in Deepcut, Surrey
An experienced roof surveyor for electronic leak detection in Deepcut. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Holes around roof penetrations
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
About our electronic leak detection in Deepcut
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage testing is typically done with the surface wet and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed. Which one suits depends on the membrane and the layers of the roof, and we’ll explain our choice. We’ll say if your roof does not suit either method before any testing starts. Common reasons to book are punctures from foot traffic or tools and leaks through a covered membrane, across roof terraces and balconies, commercial flat roofs and green roofs.
Around a smaller place like Deepcut, flat roofs typically cover extensions, garages and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs, from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber and GRP. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Deepcut
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Deepcut?
A breach can be left during installation. Testing before the roof is covered or handed over helps find them.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- New membranes needing a check before handover
If you let a flat or house near Farnborough North station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their insurance cover
Why get it checked now?
Testing a new membrane before it’s covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Once layers are added, finding a breach is harder. In a smaller place like Deepcut, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

Flat and commercial roofs around Deepcut
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sandringham Infant & Nursery School will know that a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

Deepcut questions
Do you cover smaller places like Deepcut?
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.
What do I need to do before a survey in Deepcut?
Mostly, it’s about access: the loft hatch, any locked gates and where to park in Deepcut. Tell us about known leaks or past repairs as well.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
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 with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Parking around Deepcut is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
