What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the flat roof membrane as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Surveys in Gordon Hill can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Gordon Hill
ELD is a way of pinpointing breaches in a flat roof’s waterproofing membrane. It works with an electrical current that passes through the membrane only where there’s a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see, so your roofer can repair them. The results come in a report with photos. Common reasons to book are breaches around outlets and penetrations and holes left by work on the roof, on commercial flat roofs, single-ply roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Across London, flat roofs are everywhere, from back additions and dormers to roof terraces, blocks of flats and offices. They’re covered in felt, asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or single-ply membranes, each with its own weak points. Which one is on a roof in Gordon Hill shapes how it’s checked. Older flat roofs are often felt or asphalt, newer ones rubber or GRP.
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 photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Why act early in Gordon Hill
Testing a new membrane before it’s covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Covered roofs are harder to test. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Gordon Hill
We confirm the price for the job before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Roof area
- House, block, shop or office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
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. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The address and postcode of the property
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Gordon Hill questions
Is Gordon Hill in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Gordon Hill?
It depends on the street. If Gordon Hill has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
It depends on the size of the roof and its build-up. We will give you an idea when we quote.

Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Gordon Hill is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Forty Hall, about 0.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Gordon Hill. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For a London address like Gordon Hill, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day. Landlords with a home close to Gordon Hill station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If you live in an older home near St Michael & All Angels, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear.
