About our electronic leak detection in Eynsham
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use, and some may need lifting. We’ll discuss it with you when we quote. Any details of the build-up help because they show what’s under the surface. We will tell you if the roof can’t be tested. We’re often asked to look into leaks under green or ballasted roofs and new roofs to check before paving or planting, on flat roof membranes, single-ply roofs and commercial flat roofs.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Eynsham often have flat roofs of their own. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. It’s worth mentioning them when booking, so the visit can include them, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
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, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why get it checked now?
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Covered roofs are harder to test. Arranging work in a smaller place like Eynsham is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Eynsham: your questions answered
Is Eynsham within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Eynsham in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Eynsham is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. You’ll know roughly how long before we start.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How the survey changes by roof type
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous roofs frequently have laps and old repairs where breaches occur. We test where the roof suits it.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Testing a liquid-applied roof depends on what’s beneath the coating.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Eynsham
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Homes around Eynsham often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
Booking a survey

What electronic leak detection looks like in Eynsham
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. The wider area around Eynsham has a long history of building, with Blenheim Palace about 4.1 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Bartholomew School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Leaks that return after repairs
Landlords with a home close to Hanborough station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
