Electronic leak detection for Eversley Cross homes and businesses

How electronic leak detection works in Eversley Cross

Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It can be used to trace an existing leak or check a new membrane before handover. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends, depending on the weather. Let us know about your roof to find out more. If you’re worried about damage from equipment installers and water coming in under a flat roof, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.

Somewhere as small as Eversley Cross, 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.

The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

How the survey works

Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Somewhere like Eversley Cross needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.

  1. We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
  2. We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
  3. The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
  4. The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
  5. You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.

Before the survey

  • If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
  • Tell us where we can park nearby
  • Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

FAQs for Eversley Cross

Is Eversley Cross in the area you cover?

Yes, Eversley Cross is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.

Do you cover smaller places like Eversley Cross?

Yes, Eversley Cross is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Are you structural engineers?

No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.

Is my roof suitable for ELD?

It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Share any details you have and we’ll confirm suitability.

Do I have to be there for the survey?

Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?

Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.

Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?

Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.

Practical tips

Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:

  • Have roof specifications to hand
  • Keep a note of leaks after rain
  • Test new membranes before covering them
  • Do not keep patching the same spot

Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we’ll note it, with a suggestion of what to check next.

Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Eversley Cross

A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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.

Take a building like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. Landlords with a home close to Crowthorne station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. 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.

What affects the cost of electronic leak detection

All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:

  • If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
  • How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
  • The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
  • House, block, shop or office

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. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

Booking your survey

A little information up front helps. Please include:

  • Dates you are working to, such as exchange
  • Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
  • Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
  • Where the property is, with the postcode

We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know where you stand. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Eversley Cross

Can I check my roof myself?

It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
