How electronic leak detection works in Frimley
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through before we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful because they show what’s under the surface. We’ll tell you if the roof cannot be tested. We survey commercial flat roofs, green roofs and single-ply roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are patched roofs that still leak and waterproofing to test before it’s covered.
Around Frimley, many garages, porches and extensions have flat roofs of their own. Some older garages have cement sheet roofs, which on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, which a specialist asbestos surveyor should check before anyone disturbs them. Felt, rubber and fibreglass coverings each need a different approach. We do not test for asbestos, but our reports may flag materials that could contain it.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Frimley
Do you carry out roof surveys in Frimley?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Frimley is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Frimley is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How long will testing take?
It normally takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
We quote for each roof individually. Tell us about the roof and where it leaks. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a quote.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Frimley
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Roof area
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
All our prices include VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Anything about access we should know
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Let us know about the membrane and build-up if you know it
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. We will explain what was found and what it means.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. For a visit in Frimley, we need access to the loft, any rooms with leaks or stains, and the outside of the building. If there is a side gate or a rear garden, let us know how to reach it. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
How to prepare
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Electronic leak detection in Frimley: local notes
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as St. Peter's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. If you own a rental within reach of Frimley station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Lakeside Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

How the survey changes by roof type
EPDM rubber roofs
EPDM rubber roofs often last 30–50 years, but punctures and seam failures still happen.
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs often have seams and patches where breaches occur. We test where the roof suits it.
Why it is worth a survey now in Frimley
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. Electronic testing finds the hole first, so the repair can be targeted. On a house in a town like Frimley, wet loft insulation stops working and can stay damp for a long time. That adds to the bill long before the leak is obvious.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
