What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply membranes
Many offices and units have single-ply roofs. Laps and fixings are where holes often appear.
Green and ballasted roofs
Roofs with planting or ballast hide the membrane. Testing may still be possible, depending on the build-up.
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Earlswood
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It can be used to trace an existing leak 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, depending on the weather. Tell us about your roof to find out more. We survey roof terraces and balconies, green roofs and flat roof membranes, and people most frequently book us about leaking laps in the waterproofing and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings.
In a smaller place like Earlswood, some flat roofs sit in the open, so wind catches loose edges and trims. Sun on a flat roof also ages felt and bitumen. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away. Standing water that lingers for days after rain is another sign worth watching for.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Why act early in Earlswood
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Locating it early helps limit the damage. In a smaller place like Earlswood, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

FAQs for Earlswood
Will you come out to Earlswood?
Yes, Earlswood is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How should I get ready for a visit in Earlswood?
Not much. Unlock side gates, keep pets in another room and dig out any invoices from past roof work.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. For a quote, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Can every flat roof be tested?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Let us know what you know about the roof and we’ll check whether ELD will work.
