What affects the price in Goodworth Clatford
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:

- The address and postcode of the property
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
About our electronic leak detection in Goodworth Clatford
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage methods typically need a wet roof surface and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed. Which one suits depends on the membrane and the layers of the roof and we explain which we’ll use. If neither method suits your roof, we will tell you at the outset. Common reasons to book are leaks under green or ballasted roofs and failed seams and laps, on commercial flat roofs, single-ply roofs and roof terraces and balconies.
In a small place like Goodworth Clatford, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally 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.
If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Record dates and spots where water appears
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we’ll note it, with a suggestion of what to check next.
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is worth considering. It is easier to find holes before more layers are added.
Roof by roof
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid waterproofing has no laps, but can still have thin spots or holes. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
EPDM rubber roofs
Certain rubber membranes are conductive, which can rule out some methods. We’ll say if the test won’t work.
Signs you need electronic leak detection in Goodworth Clatford
Other trades on the roof can puncture the waterproofing. Fixings, equipment and foot traffic can leave small holes.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Damage from equipment installers
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What happens if roof problems are left?
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Questions from Goodworth Clatford
Is my home in Goodworth Clatford listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Goodworth Clatford in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Goodworth Clatford
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Clatford Church of England Primary School, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For landlords with property near Andover station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Somewhere like Goodworth Clatford 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’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.

Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
