Electronic leak detection in Hampton, Greater London
Electronic leak detection in Hampton from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and South East England.
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- New membranes needing a check before handover
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Find the breach before more patching
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. We can talk you through the findings.
Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.
Electronic leak detection in Hampton: what you get
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Hampton and across London and South East England. Testing usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. The results come in a written report with photos. We are often asked to look into waterproofing to test before it’s covered and damage from equipment installers, across roof terraces and balconies, flat roof membranes and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Across London, flat roofs are everywhere, from back additions and dormers to roof terraces, blocks of flats and offices. They’re covered in felt, asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or single-ply membranes, each with its own weak points. Which one is on a roof in Hampton shapes how it is checked. Many older flat roofs are felt or asphalt, and many newer ones EPDM rubber or GRP.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof membrane, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
What we are asked to look at in Hampton
Other trades on the roof can puncture the waterproofing. Fixings, equipment and foot traffic can leave small holes.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
The streets around a church such as All Saints' Hampton are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- When you’ll get the report
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. From the street, a London terrace typically shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Hampton we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Local flat roofs in Hampton
Strawberry Hill House, about 2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hampton. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Treaty Centre, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts. Landlords with a home close to Hampton station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Hampton: your questions answered
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Hampton?
Parking in Hampton, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when booking.
Is Hampton in the area you cover?
Yes, Hampton is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Can every flat roof be tested?
Not every roof is suitable. Some membranes conduct electricity and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. If your roof will not work, we’ll say so at the start.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Hampton?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
