About our electronic leak detection in Goose Green
A leak in a flat roof frequently shows up a long way from where the water gets in. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. ELD tests the waterproofing directly and locates the breach. It’s testing only and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. We then send you the results in a written report. We are often asked to look into a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and punctures from foot traffic or tools, on single-ply roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and flat roof membranes.
Some older homes in villages like Goose Green are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. In a small place like Goose Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- 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.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Find any records of previous roof work
Booking a survey
We confirm the price for the job before booking, so you know the cost up front. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Limit access to the roof
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Check new waterproofing before handover
Wet insulation may need attention after a leak. That is something to discuss with your roofer, and moisture readings can help.
Consider testing a new membrane before it is covered. It’s easier to find holes before more layers are added.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. ELD shows the actual breach points. Outbuildings and barns around Goose Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Goose Green questions
Do you cover Goose Green?
Yes, Goose Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you cover smaller places like Goose Green?
Yes, Goose Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How is ELD priced?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. To get a quote, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What’s in the report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Goose Green
With Parham House about 4.5 miles south-west, Goose Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
Take a building like Rydon Community College: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you own a rental within reach of Billingshurst station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
Goose Green is about 9 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Surveys in Goose Green work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful look at whatever is safely visible, photographs and a clear written report. We cover towns and villages across West Sussex, large and small. For surveys nearby, see our Crawley page.

Signs you need electronic leak detection in Goose Green
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. A gap that’s hard to see can let water in for months before it shows.
Look out for signs like these:
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Failed seams and laps
- Leaks that return after repairs
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
What to check before booking
