How electronic leak detection works in Domewood
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends when conditions allow. Tell us about your roof to find out more. If you’ve noticed a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and breaches around outlets and penetrations, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Domewood, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

FAQs for Domewood
Do you carry out roof surveys in Domewood?
Yes, Domewood is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Domewood as anywhere else.
Is Domewood within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Leave it or get it looked at?
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Covered roofs are harder to test. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and our case studies.
How we price electronic leak detection
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- House, block, shop or office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Roof area
- The shape of the roof and its details
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You’ll know the price for your survey before you book.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How the survey changes by roof type
Inverted and paved roofs
We’ll tell you if your inverted or paved roof is not suitable.
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous roofs often have laps and old repairs where breaches occur. Testing depends on the roof.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Don’t let outlets block
- Let us know about the membrane and build-up if you know it
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. That is something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Many breaches come from foot traffic.

Most surveys take a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Rural addresses near Domewood can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.

- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.

Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
