Electronic leak detection in Fulham, Greater London

Why it’s worth a survey now in Fulham
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. London’s older roofs frequently have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.

Electronic leak detection in Fulham
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It can be used to trace an existing leak or to test a new membrane before it’s covered. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Let us know about your roof to find out more. We survey green roofs, single-ply roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from equipment installers and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause.
On a London roof terrace or a flat roof over a back addition, water frequently runs under the covering before it shows. Upstands against parapets, outlets and the edge where flat meets pitched are common entry points. In a converted house in Fulham, the roof above may belong to the building rather than one flat.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Checking the roof from the ground
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Fulham
Within a mile and a half or so of Fulham there are several hotels. For hotels and other commercial buildings, finding the cause of a flat roof leak quickly keeps rooms in use. Fulham Palace, about 0.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Fulham. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Johns Walham Green Church of England Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Putney Exchange, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.

Common questions in Fulham
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Fulham?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fulham?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. You’ll know roughly how long before we start.
How do I book a survey in Fulham?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
How does ELD work?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, but a hole lets it through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
How do you choose the testing method?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage methods are normally carried out on a wet roof, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. For a visit in Fulham, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, you tell us about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

What we’re asked to look at in Fulham
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Fixings, equipment and foot traffic can leave small holes.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damage from equipment installers
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
For hotels and guest houses around Fulham, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Do not let outlets block
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.
