About our electronic leak detection in Egypt
Some flat roofs can’t be tested electronically. Certain membranes conduct electricity and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof is not suitable, we’ll tell you before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, such as drawings or specifications. It saves a wasted visit. Common reasons to book are waterproofing to test before it’s covered and holes around roof penetrations, across single-ply roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and green roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Egypt are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Flat and commercial roofs around Egypt
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Historic houses such as Cliveden, about 3 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Egypt goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Burnham station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Egypt is about 3 miles north of Slough, in Slough. We carry out electronic leak detection in Egypt for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings, with a written report and photographs every time. Across Slough, we cover Egypt. Our Reading page covers surveys nearby.
We survey roofs across the SL2 postcode area for electronic leak detection. Whether your property is on Cages Wood Drive, Hammond End and The Avenue or anywhere close by, we can help. We also cover Farnham Common (1 mile south-east), Hedgerley (1 mile north-east), East Burnham (1 mile south), Farnham Royal (1 mile south) and Littleworth Corner (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Slough (3 miles south), Cippenham (3 miles south), Chalvey (4 miles south), Langley (5 miles south-east), Upton (4 miles south) and Burnham (3 miles south-west).
Around Egypt
Around Egypt, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Beechwood School, The Royal Oak pub and Caldicott School. The closest station to Egypt is Burnham station, roughly 2.9 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Wexham Park Hospital (2.7 miles south-east). Open spaces near Egypt include Burnham Beeches and Taplow Lake.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Egypt?
Joints and laps in a membrane can fail over time. Small openings at laps can leak long before anyone notices.
We are often asked to look at:
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
Anyone responsible for a site like Farnham Common Infant School will know that schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What insurance they carry
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a small place like Egypt, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Booking a survey
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.

How we price electronic leak detection
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
- The roof’s overall size
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
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.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What we can’t see
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Carrying out the repair work
- Some conductive membranes
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Flat roof membranes
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Single-ply roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Green roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Find the breach before more patching
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Limit access to the roof
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. That’s something to discuss with your roofer, and moisture readings can help.
Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Egypt
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Egypt questions
Will you come out to Egypt?
Yes, Egypt is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Egypt?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs like 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.
How does ELD work?
The waterproofing membrane normally stops an electrical current, but a hole lets it through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
