About our electronic leak detection in Froxfield Green
Electronic leak detection, or ELD, finds holes in flat roof waterproofing membranes. It works with an 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. You get a written report with photos of each breach found. We’re often asked to look into repairs that haven’t stopped the leak and leaks through a covered membrane, on flat roof membranes, roof terraces and balconies and single-ply roofs.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Froxfield Green take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are usually the first part of a flat roof to go.
If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Froxfield Green
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the flat roof membrane, useful for planning maintenance.
Electronic leak detection around Froxfield Green
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter on the Green are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Petersfield station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

More services for Froxfield Green
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
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.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Older rural homes like those around Froxfield Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Check we can get to the back of the property
How to book
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

What we are asked to look at in Froxfield Green
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The stain inside can be far from the hole, so tracing it by eye is difficult.
We are often asked to look at:
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Froxfield Church of England Primary School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

Common questions in Froxfield Green
Is Froxfield Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is Froxfield Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Froxfield Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
How does ELD work?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached so we can pinpoint it.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
On some roofs, yes. Covered roofs limit the methods we can use, so we check the build-up first.
Which method do you use?
We choose the method that suits the roof. You will know which method we plan to use before we start.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
What affects the price in Froxfield Green
To price your survey, we check:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The size of the roof
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: 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 we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- When you need the report by
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Why act early in Froxfield Green
Some breaches are too small to see. Electronic testing can find breaches you cannot see by eye, on suitable membranes. Around Froxfield Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
