FAQs for East Wellow
Do you cover East Wellow?
Yes, East Wellow is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Wellow?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Can every flat roof be tested?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Share any details you have and we will check whether ELD will work.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How electronic leak detection works in East Wellow
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. Repair costs aren’t part of the report; that’s for your roofer to price. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. Common reasons to book are failed seams and laps and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause, across commercial flat roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and roof terraces and balconies.
In a small place like East Wellow, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, usually 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Leave it or get it looked at?
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Once layers are added, finding a breach is harder. For an older or listed building in a place like East Wellow, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Rural addresses near East Wellow can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- 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.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about parking near the property
How to book
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

Prices for electronic leak detection in East Wellow
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Roof area
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
What to tell us when you get in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know the cost up front. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Electronic leak detection in East Wellow: local notes
Historic houses such as Landford Manor, about 2.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around East Wellow goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wellow School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you let a flat or house near Romsey station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Margaret, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
