About our electronic leak detection in Harold Park
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Harold Park and across London and the South East. Testing normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. The results come in a written report with photos. Common reasons to book are patched roofs that still leak and holes around roof penetrations, across flat roof membranes, commercial flat roofs and roof terraces and balconies.
In smaller places like Harold Park, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. Arranging work in a smaller place like Harold Park is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Carrying out the repair work
- Areas we can’t reach or that cannot be tested
- Some conductive membranes
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

How the survey changes by roof type
EPDM rubber roofs
Some EPDM membranes conduct electricity, which can rule out some methods. We will say if the test won’t work.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Pinholes in a coating can let water through. ELD can help locate them on suitable roofs.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. A visit to Harold Park is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Arrange a survey

Advice
Landlord and commercial surveys in Harold Park
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Electronic leak detection in Harold Park: local notes
Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. With Hare Hall about 1.7 miles south-west, Harold Park sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building like Harold Court Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. Shop and office owners around The Mercury Mall may find that the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. Landlords with a home close to Harold Wood station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Height and safe access
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
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.
What to let us know when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
