Common questions in Fuller Street
How do I find out if my home in Fuller Street is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Fuller Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Fuller Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. For a quote, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
On some roofs, yes. What sits on the membrane affects the method so we check the roof first.
How do I book a survey in Fuller Street?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Will you repair the leak?
No, our part is finding the breaches. The report gives your roofer the locations.
Electronic leak detection in Fuller Street
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. ELD tests the waterproofing directly, to find where it has been breached. We test and report and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. We then send you the results in a written report. If you are worried about leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and failed seams and laps, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Fuller Street take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. 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 normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Do not keep patching the same spot
- Have roof specifications to hand
The report records each breach location with photos. Your roofer uses it to carry out repairs.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
Signs you need electronic leak detection in Fuller Street
Joints and laps in a membrane can fail over time. A gap that is hard to see can let water in long before anyone notices.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
- Gaps at membrane joints
Landlords with a home close to White Notley station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

What else we do in Fuller Street
Roof by roof
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Small holes in liquid waterproofing may leak. ELD can help locate them on suitable roofs.
Single-ply membranes
ELD often works on single-ply membranes, depending on the type and build-up.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Not every leak is in the membrane. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out so attention can go to the right place. In a small place like Fuller Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Flat and commercial roofs around Fuller Street
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, and a good many post-war and modern estates besides. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.
