Electronic leak detection in East Meon
ELD is a way of pinpointing breaches in a flat roof’s waterproofing membrane. It uses a small electrical current which can only get through the membrane at a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. The results come in a report with photos. We survey commercial flat roofs, green roofs and flat roof membranes, and people most frequently book us about water coming in under a flat roof and holes around roof penetrations.
In a small place like East Meon, 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. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are usually the first part of a flat roof to go.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Flat and commercial roofs around East Meon
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear. Landlords with a home close to Petersfield station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. If you look after a building such as East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Roof by roof
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes are common on commercial and newer roofs. Seams and penetrations are typical breach points.
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous felt and modified bitumen membranes are common. Whether ELD suits them depends on the build-up.
The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Cottages and farmhouses around East Meon often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from electronic leak detection starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Find the breach before more patching
- Check new waterproofing before handover
If we think the leak is not coming through the membrane, the report says so, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.
FAQs for East Meon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Meon?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is East Meon in the area you cover?
Yes, East Meon is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
How do I book a survey in East Meon?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.

Why act early in East Meon
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. For an older or listed building in a place like East Meon, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Sections we can’t safely access
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- Fixing the holes we find
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
