What electronic leak detection looks like in East Hampnett
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. The wider area around East Hampnett has a long history of building, with Goodwood House about 2.4 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. For landlords with property near Barnham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tangmere Primary Academy, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in East Hampnett
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in East Hampnett and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. The results come in a written report with photos. We survey flat roof membranes, liquid-applied waterproofing and roof terraces and balconies, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are holes around roof penetrations and damp inside with no sign on the roof.
Some older homes in villages like East Hampnett are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we look for on each type of roof

That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.

Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.

What affects the price in East Hampnett
To price your survey, we look at:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Roof area
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before you book.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Hampnett can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why us?
- Visits on any day of the week
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
