How electronic leak detection works in Frogmore
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself and locates the breach. It’s testing only and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. The results then follow in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed new membranes needing a check before handover and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around a smaller place like Frogmore, flat roofs normally cover extensions, garages and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let plenty of water into the room below. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it, from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber and GRP. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Frogmore is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First, you let us know about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- 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.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Arranging work in a smaller place like Frogmore is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs 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.

Flat and commercial roofs around Frogmore
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
The streets around a church like St Barnabas Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Sandhurst station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Frogmore Junior School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Frogmore
Is Frogmore within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in Frogmore is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Frogmore?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Do not let outlets block
- Do not leave water getting in
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
Questions about the results are welcome. We will explain what was found and what it means.
Act on leaks quickly. Water under a membrane can spread.
