Electronic leak detection in Greywell: what you get
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through before we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful because they show what’s under the surface. We will tell you if the roof can’t be tested. If you are worried about leaking laps in the waterproofing and leaks showing away from the breach, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and commercial flat roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Greywell, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

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 attention can go to the right place. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Greywell, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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 your roof before booking.

FAQs for Greywell
Is my home in Greywell 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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Greywell?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
It normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too.
Is the repair part of the test?
No, the test finds the breaches and your roofer repairs them. Your roofer uses the report to target the repair.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Rural addresses near Greywell can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What we’re asked to look at in Greywell
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Fixings, equipment and foot traffic can leave small holes.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Patched roofs that still leak
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Local flat roofs in Greywell
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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Anyone responsible for a site like Robert May's School will know that 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 Hook station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
