How electronic leak detection works in Furzey Lodge

We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Furzey Lodge and across London and the South East. A visit usually takes a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. You get a written report with photos. If you’re worried about damp inside with no sign on the roof and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and single-ply roofs alike.

Somewhere as small as Furzey Lodge, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.

If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What affects the cost of electronic leak detection

The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:

  • Whether it is a home or a commercial building
  • Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
  • Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
  • Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details

For a price for your roof in Furzey Lodge, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

  • Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors

  • Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
  • Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access

Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Furzey Lodge questions

Does being near the coast affect roofs in Furzey Lodge?

It can do. Furzey Lodge is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.

Is Furzey Lodge within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.

Are you insured?

Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.

Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?

It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Share any details you have and we’ll check whether ELD will work.

Will I get photos?

Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.

Do you look in the loft space?

If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.

How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Furzey Lodge?

To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.

Before and after the survey

Small things make a difference. Some pointers:

  • Find the breach before more patching
  • Have roof specifications to hand
  • Limit access to the roof
  • Get leaks traced quickly

Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we will note it, with a suggestion of what to check next.

Act on leaks quickly. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Furzey Lodge

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.

What happens on the day

We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Rural addresses near Furzey Lodge can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.

  1. We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
  2. The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
  3. The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
  4. The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
  5. We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Show us where any leaks or stains appear
  • Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
  • Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Flat and commercial roofs around Furzey Lodge

Furzey Lodge is within about 4 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. On a flat roof near the sea, edge trims and upstands take the brunt of the wind, and metal parts corrode faster. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.

Anyone responsible for a site like Beaulieu Village Primary School will know that a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. Landlords with a home close to Beaulieu Road station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
