What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Around Fisher's Pond, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- 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
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.

How electronic leak detection works in Fisher's Pond
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found, with photographs. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. We do not estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work, where the roof still suits the method. You get a report with photos. Typical surveys look at holes left by work on the roof and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, on commercial flat roofs, green roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Some older homes in villages like Fisher's Pond are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Fisher's Pond
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there is typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. South Stoneham House, about 4.6 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Fisher's Pond. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Eastleigh station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Holy Trinity, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

What we’re asked to look at in Fisher's Pond
Joints and laps in a membrane can fail over time. Small openings at laps can leak long before anyone notices.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Damage from equipment installers
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
Anyone responsible for a site like Colden Common Primary School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

FAQs for Fisher's Pond

Yes, Fisher's Pond is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you cover Fisher's Pond?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.

It depends on the size of the roof and its build-up. We will give you an idea when we quote.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Why it is worth a survey now in Fisher's Pond
Cutting open a flat roof to find a leak can cause more damage. Electronic testing finds the hole first, so the repair can be targeted. Older and listed buildings around Fisher's Pond may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
