Electronic leak detection in Goodley Stock: what you get
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Tell us about your roof to find out more. We are often asked to look into leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and leaks through a covered membrane, across liquid-applied waterproofing, flat roof membranes and roof terraces and balconies.
Somewhere as small as Goodley Stock, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

FAQs for Goodley Stock
How do I find out if my home in Goodley Stock is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Goodley Stock?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Goodley Stock as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
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 use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage testing normally needs a wet surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Goodley Stock?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
Sometimes. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it, and some may need lifting. We talk this through first.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. In a small place like Goodley Stock, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Flat roofs in Goodley Stock
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. The wider area around Goodley Stock has a long history of building, with Chartwell about 1 mile east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. Landlords with a home close to Hurst Green station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Goodley Stock is about 6 miles south-west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. From houses to flats and shops in Goodley Stock, the roof can be surveyed. We cover towns and villages across Kent, large and small. We also survey roofs in Crawley.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Do not keep patching the same spot
- Check new waterproofing before handover
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Consider testing a new membrane before it’s covered. It’s easier to find holes before more layers are added.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Goodley Stock
Landlords, agents and building managers in Goodley Stock and across Kent can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Can I check my roof myself?
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What affects the price in Goodley Stock
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The size of the roof
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
