Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Furnace Green
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Furnace Green and across London and the South East. A visit normally takes a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. The results come in a written report with photos. If you’re worried about damage from equipment installers and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roof membranes, roof terraces and balconies and green roofs alike.
Around Furnace Green, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. If you want them looked at too, mention them as you book, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Around Furnace Green, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
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 safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

How we price electronic leak detection
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof membrane as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Furnace Green, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- 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 we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
Advice
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- The extent of water in the insulation
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

Furnace Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Furnace Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Furnace Green be checked too?
Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it when booking. On buildings from before 2000, cement sheet roofs may contain asbestos and should be checked by a specialist asbestos surveyor before anyone disturbs them.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. To get a quote, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
On some roofs, yes. Covered roofs limit the methods we can use, so we check the build-up first.
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Have roof specifications to hand
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It is a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Don’t leave a flat roof leak running. Water under a membrane can spread.
Electronic leak detection around Furnace Green
The wider area around Furnace Green has a long history of building, with Tyes Place about 4.3 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Furnace Green is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. Homes from the post-war decades are common in the new towns, many with low-pitched roofs in concrete tiles and flat-roofed garages or porches. Many of those flat roofs have been re-covered over the years, and some may still have older felt.
For landlords with property near Three Bridges station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If you run a business near County Mall, a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Andrew's Church, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
