Hampers Green Electronic Leak Detection
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Hampers Green. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Leaks through a covered membrane
Leave it or get it looked at?
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. ELD shows the actual breach points. Around Hampers Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

About our electronic leak detection in Hampers Green
Some flat roofs can’t be tested electronically. Certain membranes conduct electricity and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof is not suitable, we’ll tell you before any testing. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It avoids arranging a test that cannot give results. We survey green roofs, commercial flat roofs and flat roof membranes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are failed seams and laps and damage from equipment installers.
In a village or hamlet like Hampers Green, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Hampers Green?
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs though it depends on the layers.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Leaks that return after repairs
- New membranes needing a check before handover
Anyone responsible for a site like Petworth Cof E Primary School will know that schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Checking the roof from the ground
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Cottages and farmhouses around Hampers Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Book a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

Flat and commercial roofs around Hampers Green
Historic houses like Petworth House, about 0.6 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Hampers Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you live in an older home near The Church of St Mary the Virgin, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. Landlords with a home close to Pulborough station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Will you come out to Hampers Green?

Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.

How much time does ELD need?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. You will know roughly how long before we start.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
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.
