Electronic leak detection in Frogham, Hampshire

- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
- Leaks through a covered membrane
How electronic leak detection works in Frogham
Electronic leak detection, or ELD, finds holes in flat roof waterproofing membranes. It uses a small electrical current which can only get through the membrane at a breach. It can find holes too small to spot by eye so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. The results come in a report with photos. If you’ve noticed leaks under green or ballasted roofs and holes left by work on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Frogham take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- How wet the insulation is
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Carrying out the repair work

Useful tips for Frogham property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.

Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Frogham
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The size of the roof
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
What to tell us when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date

Why it’s worth a survey now in Frogham
Some flat roof leaks come from walls or details. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out, so other causes can be checked. Older and listed buildings around Frogham may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a hamlet or village like Frogham, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Advice
Frogham questions
Is Frogham within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Frogham in the area you cover?

If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.

Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Which method do you use?

What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Local flat roofs in Frogham
Breamore House, about 4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Frogham. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Holy Ascension, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
