Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in East Anton
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We will tell you if the roof cannot be tested. If you’re worried about holes around roof penetrations and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, we can find out what’s behind it, on green roofs, flat roof membranes and roof terraces and balconies alike.
Around East Anton, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. If you want them looked at too, mention them when you book, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Signs you need electronic leak detection in East Anton
A breach can be left during installation. Testing before the roof is covered or handed over helps find them.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
The streets around a church such as St Paul Church Centre are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Before booking anyone

East Anton questions
Will you come out to East Anton?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover commercial flat roofs around East Anton?
Yes, we cover commercial roofs as well as homes. Roof access is agreed with the building manager or owner beforehand.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We point out what can be seen, like sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. You’ll know roughly how long before we start.
Which method do you use?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage testing usually needs a wet surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
What this survey cannot tell you
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- The extent of water in the insulation
- Carrying out the repair work
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers

For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Flat and commercial roofs around East Anton
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near East Anton, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it pays to find faults before guests do. If you look after a building like Endeavour Primary School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

How we price electronic leak detection
To price your survey, we check:
- How big the roof is
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The shape of the roof and its details
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In a smaller place like East Anton, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot 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.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
