About our electronic leak detection in Ellisfield
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found, with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. Repair costs are not part of the report; that is for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed holes around roof penetrations and leaks that return after repairs, we can find out what’s behind it, on green roofs, roof terraces and balconies and flat roof membranes alike.
Some older homes in villages like Ellisfield are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Ellisfield
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. In a place like Ellisfield, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Questions from Ellisfield
Do you carry out roof surveys in Ellisfield?
Yes, Ellisfield is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Ellisfield as anywhere else.
Is Ellisfield within the area you cover?
Yes. Ellisfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Can every flat roof be tested?
ELD does not suit every roof. Some membranes conduct electricity and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. We will tell you if yours isn’t suitable before testing.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
We quote for each roof individually. Let us know about the roof and where it leaks, and ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a quote.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.

The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Around Ellisfield, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- 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
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Different roofs, different checks
EPDM rubber roofs
Some EPDM membranes conduct electricity which can limit electronic testing. We will tell you if yours is not suitable.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid waterproofing has no laps but holes and thin areas can occur. Suitability for ELD depends on the system.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Ellisfield
Historic houses such as Hall Place, about 3.9 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Ellisfield goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Landlords with a home close to Basingstoke station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Shop and office owners around Festival Place may find that a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks. Take an older house close to Church of St. Martin: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Do not let outlets block
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It’s a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.
