Common questions in Hannington
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hannington?
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.
Is Hannington within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. To get a quote, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No. ELD is testing only. You get the breach locations with photos so your roofer can fix them.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Electronic leak detection in Hannington: what you get
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We will tell you if the roof cannot be tested. Common reasons to book are patched roofs that still leak and breaches hidden under paving or planting, on single-ply roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and roof terraces and balconies.
Somewhere as small as Hannington, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. Older roofs in small places like Hannington can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Signs you need electronic leak detection in Hannington
Flat roof membranes can be punctured by foot traffic, dropped tools or debris. Many are tiny, but still let water through.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Stains far from any visible defect
If you let a flat or house near Overton station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How soon the report will arrive
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Fixing the holes we find
- Areas we can’t reach or that cannot be tested
- The extent of water in the insulation
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Keep outlets clear of debris
Wet insulation may need attention after a leak. That’s something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Electronic leak detection in Hannington: local notes
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of All Saints, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
