Electronic leak detection in Eversley, Wokingham
Find out the condition of the flat roof membrane at your property in Eversley. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.

How the survey changes by roof type
Inverted and paved roofs
We will tell you if your inverted or paved roof isn’t suitable.
EPDM rubber roofs
EPDM rubber roofs often last 30–50 years, but punctures and seam failures still happen.
Electronic leak detection in Eversley
Electronic leak detection, or ELD, finds holes in flat roof waterproofing membranes. It uses a small electrical current which can only get through the membrane at a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. You get a photo-illustrated written report of each breach found. Common reasons to book are holes left by work on the roof and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, on commercial flat roofs, green roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Somewhere as small as Eversley, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Common roof problems in Eversley
A breach can be left during installation. ELD on a new roof can show holes before they cause leaks.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Holes around roof penetrations
If you let a flat or house near Crowthorne station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Common questions in Eversley
Do you cover Eversley?
Yes, Eversley is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Eversley as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Eversley is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
When does the report arrive?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
How is ELD priced?
Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Send us details of the roof. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us for a quote.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. The most urgent items are made clear.
Is the repair part of the test?
No, our part is finding the breaches. The report gives your roofer the locations.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Eversley
Some breaches are too small to see. Electronic testing can find breaches you can’t see by eye, on suitable membranes. In a small place like Eversley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Eversley
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Rural addresses near Eversley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Local flat roofs in Eversley
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. About 4.7 miles west lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Eversley has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. Anyone responsible for a site like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School will know that a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
