Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Dora's Green
Some flat roofs can’t be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. We will say if ELD will not work on your roof before any testing. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, such as drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that can’t give results. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, flat roof membranes and single-ply roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and breaches around outlets and penetrations.
In a village or hamlet like Dora's Green, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. In a hamlet or village like Dora's Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Leave side gates unlocked

- Holes around roof penetrations

Flat and commercial roofs around Dora's Green
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. About 1.7 miles south-east lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Dora's Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary's Church, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. If you let a flat or house near Farnham station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Dora's Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Dora's Green?
Yes, Dora's Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Dora's Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Tell us what you know about the roof and we will check whether ELD will work.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How quickly is the report sent?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Dora's Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
