Electronic leak detection in East Harting, Hampshire
Electronic leak detection in East Harting, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It’s a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Do not leave a flat roof leak running. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in East Harting
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 to test a new membrane before it’s covered. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays when conditions allow. Let us know about your roof to find out more. We survey green roofs, flat roof membranes and roof terraces and balconies, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damage from equipment installers and leaks under green or ballasted roofs.
In a small place like East Harting, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

East Harting questions
Will you come out to East Harting?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is East Harting in the area you cover?
Yes, East Harting is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What do I do with the report?
You will receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No, the test finds the breaches and your roofer repairs them. The report gives your roofer the locations.
Flat and commercial roofs around East Harting
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. The wider area around East Harting has a long history of building, with Uppark about 1.7 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Petersfield station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. Take a building like Harting CofE Primary School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

How we price electronic leak detection
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Around East Harting, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- 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
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Leave side gates unlocked
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
