A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep outlets clear of debris

About our electronic leak detection in Furzton
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. We don’t estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. We survey flat roof membranes, green roofs and roof terraces and balconies, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks through a covered membrane and gaps at membrane joints.
In smaller places like Furzton, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let lots of water into the room below. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Parking around Furzton is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Getting ready for the survey

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Furzton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Furzton?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Furzton?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Furzton is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. What sits on the membrane affects the method, so we check the build-up first.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Roof by roof
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Small holes in liquid waterproofing may leak. ELD can help locate them on suitable roofs.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply can be punctured by tools or fixings. Testing helps find them.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. On a bungalow or cottage around Furzton, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.

Electronic leak detection around Furzton
Bletchley Park, about 1.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Furzton. If you own one of the older houses, 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. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For businesses in and around places such as Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. The streets around a church like Church of the Servant King are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
