About our electronic leak detection in Hall's Green
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends when conditions allow. Let us know about your roof to find out more. If you are worried about patched roofs that still leak and damage from equipment installers, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roof membranes, single-ply roofs and green roofs alike.
In a small place like Hall's Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Useful tips for Hall's Green property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Don’t leave water getting in
- Check new waterproofing before handover
After your roofer repairs the breaches, a retest can confirm them if the build-up allows.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
Electronic leak detection in Hall's Green: local notes
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Knole House, about 3.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hall's Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Weald Community Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. For landlords with property near Penshurst station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St George, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Older rural homes like those around Hall's Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare

Advice
Questions from Hall's Green
Do you cover smaller places like Hall's Green?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Hall's Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What’s in the report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
How fast do I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Some breaches are too small to see. Electronic testing can find breaches you can’t see by eye, on suitable membranes. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Hall's Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Sections we can’t safely access
- The extent of water in the insulation
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roof membranes
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Commercial flat roofs
- Single-ply roofs
- Green roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
