Some breaches are too small to see. ELD picks up breaches a visual check might miss where the roof suits it. Older and listed buildings around Ewshot may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You will know the price for the job before booking.
What you get with us
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

About our electronic leak detection in Ewshot
Some flat roofs can’t be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you before any testing. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, such as drawings or specifications. It saves a wasted visit. We survey commercial flat roofs, single-ply roofs and roof terraces and balconies, and common reasons people get in touch are patched roofs that still leak and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced.
Somewhere as small as Ewshot, 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

How the survey works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Around Ewshot, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

What affects the price in Ewshot
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The roof’s overall size
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
FAQs for Ewshot
Is my home in Ewshot listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover Ewshot?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Ewshot is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Is the repair part of the test?
No. We test the membrane and report. You get the breach locations with photos so your roofer can fix them.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How the survey changes by roof type
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer but holes and thin areas can occur. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
Single-ply membranes
ELD often works on single-ply membranes, depending on the type and build-up.
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Flat roofs in Ewshot
The wider area around Ewshot has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 1.9 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. If you run a business near Hart Shopping Centre, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts. For landlords with property near Farnham station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
