Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Golden Pot
Electronic leak detection, or ELD, finds holes in flat roof waterproofing membranes. It works with an electrical current which can only get through the membrane at a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. You get a written report with photos of each breach found. We survey single-ply roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and green roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are stains far from any visible defect and leaks that return after repairs.
Somewhere as small as Golden Pot, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

FAQs for Golden Pot
Is Golden Pot in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Golden Pot as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Golden Pot?
Yes, Golden Pot is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No, the test finds the breaches and your roofer repairs them. Your roofer uses the report to target the repair.
How is ELD priced?
We quote for each roof individually. Send us details of the roof, and call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a quote.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.

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, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Somewhere like Golden Pot needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

What we’re asked to look at in Golden Pot
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The leak may show some distance from where water gets in which makes it hard to find by looking.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Stains far from any visible defect
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
If you let a flat or house near Alton station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What insurance they carry
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

Flat and commercial roofs around Golden Pot
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. About 3.5 miles south-west lies Hall Place, a reminder of how long the area around Golden Pot has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
