About our electronic leak detection in Ewhurst Green
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Ewhurst Green and across London and South East England. A visit typically takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. You get a written report with photos. We’re often asked to look into stains far from any visible defect and water coming in under a flat roof, on green roofs, commercial flat roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Somewhere as small as Ewhurst Green, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. 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. 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. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Flat roofs in Ewhurst Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Anyone responsible for a site like Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you let a flat or house near Ockley station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photographs. Pass it to your roofer to repair the breach points.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually 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 Ewhurst Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Sections we can’t safely access
- Fixing the holes we find
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Commercial flat roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Green roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Single-ply roofs
Different roofs, different checks
Green and ballasted roofs
Roofs with planting or ballast hide the membrane. Some methods can work through these layers, depending on the build-up.
Inverted and paved roofs
On inverted roofs, insulation sits above the membrane and that changes how testing works.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Roof area
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
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. In a small place like Ewhurst Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
