- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Repairing the breaches (that is for your roofer)
- Sections we can’t safely access

- Flat roof membranes
How electronic leak detection works in Eridge Green
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It can be used to trace an existing leak or to test a new membrane before it is covered. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays when conditions allow. Just ask about your roof. We survey flat roof membranes, roof terraces and balconies and liquid-applied waterproofing, and people most often book us about breaches around outlets and penetrations and new membranes needing a check before handover.
In a village or hamlet like Eridge Green, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Checking the roof from the ground
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.

Different roofs, different checks
EPDM rubber roofs
EPDM is a long-lasting flat roof membrane, but punctures and seam failures still happen.
Bituminous membranes
Many flat roofs use bitumen-based membranes. Whether ELD suits them depends on the build-up.
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Somewhere like Eridge Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave side gates unlocked

Eridge Green questions
Is Eridge Green in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Eridge Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Eridge Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
What is electronic leak detection?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. To get a quote, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What happens next?
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.
Why act early in Eridge Green
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. Outbuildings and barns around Eridge Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You will know the exact price before booking.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Eridge Green
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Groombridge Place, about 1.9 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Eridge Green. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Eridge station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. The streets around a church such as Holy Trinity Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Shop and office owners around The Corn Exchange may find that outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.
