Electronic leak detection in Dogmersfield: what you get
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. We don’t estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. We survey single-ply roofs, commercial flat roofs and flat roof membranes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are new roofs to check before paving or planting and leaks showing away from the breach.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Dogmersfield take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which frequently last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Questions from Dogmersfield
Is Dogmersfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Dogmersfield is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Dogmersfield listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long will testing take?
It usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Honest limits
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Sections we can’t safely access
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- The extent of water in the insulation
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Commercial flat roofs
- Single-ply roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Green roofs
What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Somewhere as small as Dogmersfield, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

Useful tips for Dogmersfield property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Don’t keep patching the same spot
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Get leaks traced quickly
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Make sure contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Dogmersfield
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof membrane, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Local flat roofs in Dogmersfield
Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 4.7 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Dogmersfield goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Landlords with a home close to Winchfield station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. If you look after a building such as Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
