Gundleton Electronic Leak Detection
We carry out electronic leak detection in Gundleton and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Leaks showing away from the breach
About our electronic leak detection in Gundleton
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage methods usually need a wet roof surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane. Which one suits depends on the membrane and the layers of the roof and we explain which we’ll use. We will say if your roof doesn’t suit either method at the outset. We survey roof terraces and balconies, flat roof membranes and single-ply roofs, and people most often book us about damage from equipment installers and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced.
Older buildings in small places like Gundleton may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

How the survey changes by roof type
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous roofs often have laps and old repairs where breaches occur. Testing depends on the roof.
Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well but it depends on the product and layers.
Flat and commercial roofs around Gundleton
About 4 miles south lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Gundleton has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you look after a building such as Perins School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

FAQs for Gundleton
Do you cover Gundleton?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Gundleton is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Gundleton within the area you cover?
Yes, Gundleton is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage testing usually needs a wet surface and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. What sits on the membrane affects the method so we look at the roof first.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
What electronic leak detection does not cover
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- How wet the insulation is
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Flat roof membranes
- Single-ply roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Green roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: 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. The visit typically takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. In a hamlet or village like Gundleton, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you let us know about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Check pets are kept safely away
Booking a survey
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

What you can safely check yourself
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Let us know about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Note where leaks show inside and when
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Consider testing a new membrane before it is covered. It is easier to find holes before more layers are added.
