Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
How electronic leak detection works in Frimley Green
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair instead of hunting for the leak. We don’t estimate repair costs; that is for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at new membranes needing a check before handover and water coming in under a flat roof, across liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and commercial flat roofs.
Flat roofs in smaller places like Frimley Green can be more exposed, particularly where nothing shelters them, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Sun on a flat roof also ages felt and bitumen. Splits, blisters and lifting edges are what to look out for, along with water that sits after rain. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Useful tips for Frimley Green property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Find the breach before more patching
- Limit access to the roof
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
File the report with your roof paperwork. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
Why act early in Frimley Green
Some breaches are too small to see. ELD picks up breaches a visual check might miss where the roof suits it. Homes in smaller places like Frimley Green can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. A visit to Frimley Green is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Bituminous membranes
Bituminous felt and modified bitumen membranes are common. The build-up decides which method will work.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply can be punctured by tools or fixings. ELD can locate them.
When to book a survey in Frimley Green
Repeated leaks after repairs suggest the real breach hasn’t been found. ELD can locate the breach more precisely.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Holes around roof penetrations
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Stains far from any visible defect
The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price

Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.

Flat roofs in Frimley Green
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Landlords with a home close to Farnborough North station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Cross Farm Infant School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
