Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Enham Alamein
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’s for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. You get a written report with photos. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and flat roof membranes, and common reasons people get in touch are new membranes needing a check before handover and breaches around outlets and penetrations.
Older buildings in small places like Enham Alamein may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Electronic leak detection around Enham Alamein
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark like Saint George, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we will note it, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Act on leaks quickly. Water under a membrane can spread.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. Electronic testing finds the hole first, so the repair can be targeted. For an older or listed building in a place like Enham Alamein, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The size of the roof
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
What to let us know when you get in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Around Enham Alamein, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book

Advice
Enham Alamein: your questions answered
Is Enham Alamein within the area you cover?
Yes, Enham Alamein is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is my home in Enham Alamein listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
Sometimes. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane, and some may need lifting. We talk this through first.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
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.
How the survey changes by roof type
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous roofs frequently have laps and old repairs that can leak. We test where the roof suits it.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply can be punctured by tools or fixings. Testing helps find them.
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
