Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Flowers Green
ELD finds breaches in the membrane but not every way water gets in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. The test shows breaches in the membrane, not water coming through masonry or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. We’ll point you to the likely next step. Common reasons to book are damp inside with no sign on the roof and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced, across roof terraces and balconies, commercial flat roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Older buildings in small places like Flowers Green may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Common roof problems in Flowers Green
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. A gap that’s hard to see can let water in for months before it shows.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
Take a building like Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School: a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

What else we do in Flowers Green
Questions from Flowers Green
Will you come out to Flowers Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Flowers Green, take more of a battering?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Flowers Green is within about 5 miles of the coast.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
What’s in the survey report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:

Why it is worth a survey now in Flowers Green
Patching where you think the leak is frequently misses it. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. For older village homes like those around Flowers Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Electronic leak detection around Flowers Green
Flowers Green lies within about 5 miles of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. On a flat roof near the sea, edge trims and upstands take the brunt of the wind, and metal parts corrode faster. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you let a flat or house near Pevensey Bay station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. With Horselunges Manor about 3.4 miles west, the area around Flowers Green has a long history. Older houses nearby frequently have flat roofs added much later, built to very different standards from the main roof.

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Rural addresses near Flowers Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
