Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Denstroude
A leak in a flat roof often shows up a long way from where the water gets in. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself and locates the breach. It is testing only and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. We then send you the results in a written report. We survey green roofs, roof terraces and balconies and flat roof membranes, and people most often book us about new roofs to check before paving or planting and leaks under green or ballasted roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Denstroude 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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Electronic leak detection around Denstroude
Denstroude lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you own a rental within reach of Whitstable station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. Shop and office owners around Whitefriars Shopping Centre may find that a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks.
Denstroude is about 3 miles south of Whitstable, in Kent. Surveys in Denstroude work the same way as everywhere we cover: a proper look at everything that’s safely in view, photographs and a clear written report. Our Kent coverage includes Denstroude.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Denstroude
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- When you need the report by
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What this survey can’t tell you
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- Fixing the holes we find
- Moisture spread under the membrane

What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Older roofs in small places like Denstroude can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- 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.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Common questions in Denstroude
How do I find out if my home in Denstroude is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Denstroude?
Yes, Denstroude is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. To get a quote, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Tips that help
Getting the most from electronic leak detection starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Limit access to the roof
- Don’t let outlets block
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them, where the roof still suits the method.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.
