Checking the roof from ground level
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.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Green End
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found, with photographs. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. We don’t estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at holes around roof penetrations and new roofs to check before paving or planting, on green roofs, flat roof membranes and roof terraces and balconies.
In a village or hamlet like Green End, flat roofs are normally 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 as you book.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The address and postcode of the property
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Different roofs, different checks
Bituminous membranes
ELD is frequently possible on bituminous membranes, depending on what’s below.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Small holes in liquid waterproofing may leak. Where the roof suits it, testing can find them.
FAQs for Green End
How do I find out if my home in Green End is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Green End within the area you cover?
Yes, Green End is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I book a survey in Green End?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
Testing typically takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Some flat roof leaks come from walls or details. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out, so other causes can be checked. Around Green End, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Limit access to the roof
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
Questions about the results are welcome. We can talk you through the findings.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Somewhere like Green End needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Booking a survey

Local flat roofs in Green End
About 1.9 miles south-east lies West Wycombe Park House, a reminder of how long the area around Green End has been built on. 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you look after a building such as The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
