How electronic leak detection works in Frogham
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through before we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We will tell you if the roof can’t be tested. If you’ve noticed new membranes needing a check before handover and patched roofs that still leak, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Frogham, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Frogham
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Frogham
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Finding the breach sooner limits that. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey normally takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. In a small place like Frogham, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Electronic leak detection in Frogham: local notes
The wider area around Frogham has a long history of building, with Goodnestone Park about 2.4 miles north. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you look after a building like Nonington Church of England Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.

FAQs for Frogham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Frogham?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Frogham within the area you cover?
Yes, Frogham is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
