Electronic leak detection in Green Hailey: what you get
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing but not every way water gets in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. The test shows breaches in the membrane, not water coming through masonry or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. You will also know what to check next. Typical surveys look at leaks under green or ballasted roofs and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced, on flat roof membranes, commercial flat roofs and green roofs.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Green Hailey take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. 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’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photos. Pass it to your roofer to repair the breach points.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.

You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Rural addresses near Green Hailey can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Booking a survey
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Flat and commercial roofs around Green Hailey
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Dunstan, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. Take a building like Monks Risborough CofE Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
