How electronic leak detection works in Great Mongeham
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points instead of hunting for the leak. We don’t estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with if the build-up allows. You get a written report with photos. We survey roof terraces and balconies, liquid-applied waterproofing and single-ply roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaking laps in the waterproofing and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause.
In a village or hamlet like Great Mongeham, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Older roofs in small places like Great Mongeham can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Find any records of previous roof work
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Limit access to the roof
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Do not leave water getting in
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. That’s something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is worth considering. It is easier to find holes before more layers are added.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Great Mongeham?
Holes in a membrane frequently come from feet, tools or debris. Some are too small to see, but still let water through.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Stains far from any visible defect
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Failed seams and laps
Landlords with a home close to Walmer station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long the report takes to arrive

Flat roofs in Great Mongeham
Great Mongeham lies within about 3 miles of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Martin, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Historic houses such as Walmer Castle, about 2 miles south-east, show how far back building around Great Mongeham goes. If your home is older, its flat-roofed extension or dormer may be on its second or third covering.

What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
All our prices include VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You’ll know the price for the job before you book.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Great Mongeham questions
Will you come out to Great Mongeham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is my home in Great Mongeham listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
It usually takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
