Electronic leak detection in Hampden Park
ELD can be carried out in more than one way. Low-voltage testing is normally done with the surface wet and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed. Which one suits depends on the membrane and the layers of the roof and we explain which we’ll use. If neither method suits your roof, we’ll tell you at the outset. If you’ve noticed breaches hidden under paving or planting and breaches around outlets and penetrations, we can find out what’s behind it, on roof terraces and balconies, green roofs and flat roof membranes alike.
In smaller places like Hampden Park, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let lots of water into the room below. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs, from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber and GRP. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Useful tips for Hampden Park property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Do not let outlets block
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Act on leaks quickly. Water under a membrane can spread.
Common questions in Hampden Park
Is my home in Hampden Park listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Hampden Park?
Yes, Hampden Park is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
What we cannot see
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Carrying out the repair work
- Areas we cannot reach or that can’t be tested
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane

Leave it or get it looked at?
Patching where you think the leak is frequently misses it. ELD shows the actual breach points. On a bungalow or cottage around Hampden Park, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

Electronic leak detection around Hampden Park
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Hampden Park, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Heron Park Primary Academy, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. For landlords with property near Hampden Park station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Being in a smaller place like Hampden Park doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
