Easton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Easton?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Easton?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Easton as anywhere else.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
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.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
What is electronic leak detection?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
Electronic leak detection in Easton: what you get
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Easton and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey roof terraces and balconies, green roofs and flat roof membranes, and common reasons people get in touch are new roofs to check before paving or planting and gaps at membrane joints.
In a village or hamlet like Easton, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Roof by roof
EPDM rubber roofs
Whether an EPDM roof can be tested depends on the membrane and build-up. We check before we quote.
Bituminous membranes
ELD is often possible on bituminous membranes, depending on what’s below.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Easton?
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Peter Symonds College, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- What the survey will not cover
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Why act early in Easton
Some breaches are too small to see. ELD picks up breaches a visual check might miss where the roof suits it. For older village homes like those around Easton, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Flat and commercial roofs around Easton
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For landlords with property near Winchester station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
