About our electronic leak detection in East Clandon
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Certain membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. We’ll say if ELD will not work on your roof before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, such as drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that cannot give results. We survey green roofs, flat roof membranes and commercial flat roofs, and people most often book us about new roofs to check before paving or planting and holes left by work on the roof.
Somewhere as small as East Clandon, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in East Clandon
How do I find out if my home in East Clandon is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to East Clandon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
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 booking.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
In some cases. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it and parts may need to be lifted. We’ll discuss it before we quote.
How is ELD priced?
We quote for each roof individually. Let us know about the roof and where it leaks, and phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a quote.

Flat and commercial roofs around East Clandon
About 0.5 miles north-east lies Hatchlands Park, a reminder of how long the area around East Clandon has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you look after a building like Clandon CofE Aided Primary School, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you own a rental within reach of Clandon station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Why it’s worth a survey now in East Clandon
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. ELD aims to locate the breach first, so the repair can be targeted. Older and listed buildings around East Clandon may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You will know the price for the job before booking.

What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a small place like East Clandon, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before we arrive

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Limit access to the roof
Questions about the results are welcome. We can talk you through the findings.
Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.

Different roofs, different checks
EPDM rubber roofs
ELD on EPDM depends on the product and the layers. We check before we quote.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer, but can still have thin spots or holes. Suitability for ELD depends on the system.
Signs you need electronic leak detection in East Clandon
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. A gap that’s hard to see can let water in for months before it shows.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Gaps at membrane joints
- New membranes needing a check before handover
Take an older house close to Church of St Thomas of Canterbury: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
