How electronic leak detection works in Eyhorne Street
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Just ask about your roof. If you’ve noticed patched roofs that still leak and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Eyhorne Street, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

FAQs for Eyhorne Street
Do you cover Eyhorne Street?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Eyhorne Street as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Eyhorne Street?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What does electronic leak detection do?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached so we can pinpoint it.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Share any details you have and we will check whether ELD will work.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Eyhorne Street?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. In a small place like Eyhorne Street, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Why act early in Eyhorne Street
A visual inspection can miss tiny holes. ELD picks up breaches a visual check might miss, on suitable membranes. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Eyhorne Street, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Why us?
- A photo-illustrated written report
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent view of the roof
- Over 20 years’ experience

Electronic leak detection in Eyhorne Street: local notes
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Historic houses like Leeds Castle, about 0.9 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Eyhorne Street goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Hollingbourne Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. Take an older house close to All Saints Church: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
