How electronic leak detection works in Goldsworth Park
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Goldsworth Park and across London and South East England. Testing typically takes a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You get a report with photos. We survey commercial flat roofs, single-ply roofs and roof terraces and balconies, and people most frequently book us about patched roofs that still leak and leaks through a covered membrane.
Around Goldsworth Park, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. It is worth mentioning them when you book, so the visit can include them. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Don’t keep patching the same spot
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Act on new leaks promptly
After your roofer repairs the breaches, a retest can confirm them, where the roof still suits the method.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.

Local flat roofs in Goldsworth Park
Botleys Mansion, about 4.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Goldsworth Park. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. If you run a business near The Peacocks, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.

FAQs for Goldsworth Park
Do you cover Goldsworth Park?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Goldsworth Park is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Is my home in Goldsworth Park listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What’s in the report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey usually takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Goldsworth Park, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Goldsworth Park?
Holes in a membrane often come from feet, tools or debris. Many are tiny, but still let water through.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
If you let a flat or house near Woking station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Why it’s worth a survey now in Goldsworth Park
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. On a bungalow or cottage around Goldsworth Park, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
