About our electronic leak detection in Eversley Centre
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We’ll tell you if the roof can’t be tested. If you’re worried about punctures from foot traffic or tools and leaks showing away from the breach, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Eversley Centre, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey usually takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. Somewhere as small as Eversley Centre, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know the cost up front. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

What we’re asked to look at in Eversley Centre
Other trades on the roof can puncture the waterproofing. Fixings, equipment and foot traffic can leave small holes.
Common reasons to book include:
- Failed seams and laps
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Water coming in under a flat roof
Take a building like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How soon the report will arrive
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
FAQs for Eversley Centre
Is Eversley Centre within the area you cover?
Yes, Eversley Centre 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.
Is my home in Eversley Centre listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
ELD doesn’t suit every roof. Some membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. We will tell you if yours isn’t suitable at the start.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
What we can’t see
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
- Repairing the breaches (that’s for your roofer)
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roof membranes
- Commercial flat roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Green roofs
- Single-ply roofs
Why get it checked now?
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. Older cottages and farmhouses around Eversley Centre can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Why book us in Eversley Centre

Electronic leak detection around Eversley Centre
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. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Landlords with a home close to Crowthorne station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

Useful tips for Eversley Centre property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is worth considering. It is easier to find holes before more layers are added.
