Fleet Marston questions
Do you cover Fleet Marston?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Fleet Marston?
Yes, Fleet Marston is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Fleet Marston?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, let us know when you book.
What’s the price of ELD?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. For a quote, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Fleet Marston
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Fleet Marston and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. You get a written report with photos. We survey roof terraces and balconies, green roofs and flat roof membranes, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps at membrane joints and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings.
In a small place like Fleet Marston, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply membranes
Punctures from foot traffic and equipment are common on single-ply roofs. Testing helps find them.
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs often have seams and patches where breaches occur. We test where the roof suits it.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Fleet Marston
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

More services for Fleet Marston
Do you need electronic leak detection in Fleet Marston?
Holes in a membrane frequently come from feet, tools or debris. Many are tiny, but still let water through.
Problems we come across often include:
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Water coming in under a flat roof
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Friars Square, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after.

The visit typically takes as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Somewhere like Fleet Marston needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.

Electronic leak detection in Fleet Marston: local notes
The wider area around Fleet Marston has a long history of building, with Waddesdon Manor about 3.1 miles west. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. Take a building like Green Ridge Primary Academy: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
