Electronic leak detection in Fyfield, Hampshire
Electronic leak detection in Fyfield from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Leaks showing away from the breach
Different roofs, different checks
Inverted and paved roofs
If the build-up rules out ELD, we will say so.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Pinholes in a coating can let water through. Where the roof suits it, testing can find them.
How electronic leak detection works in Fyfield
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through before we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We will tell you if the roof cannot be tested. If you’ve noticed leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and leaks that return after repairs, we can find out what’s behind it.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Fyfield take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, usually show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Around Fyfield, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Booking a survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Fyfield
Is Fyfield in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I find out if my home in Fyfield is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
How do I book a survey in Fyfield?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.

What else we do in Fyfield
Landlord and commercial surveys in Fyfield
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
What we cannot see
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Areas we can’t reach or that cannot be tested
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Moisture spread under the membrane
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Commercial flat roofs
- Green roofs
- Single-ply roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Flat roof membranes
Why act early in Fyfield
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Locating it early helps limit the damage. In a small place like Fyfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You’ll know the exact price before you book.
Why book with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Photos and a written report every time

What electronic leak detection looks like in Fyfield
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
