About our electronic leak detection in Hartfordbridge
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing, not every cause of water getting in. Water coming through walls, copings, rooflights or plumbing will not show on the test. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. The test shows breaches in the membrane, not water coming through masonry or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. We will point you to the likely next step. Common reasons to book are new membranes needing a check before handover and breaches around outlets and penetrations, across single-ply roofs, green roofs and flat roof membranes.
Somewhere as small as Hartfordbridge, 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. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Common questions in Hartfordbridge
Is Hartfordbridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Hartfordbridge is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hartfordbridge?
Yes, Hartfordbridge is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Hartfordbridge as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can every flat roof be tested?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Share any details you have and we will confirm suitability.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
How is ELD priced?
Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Let us know about the roof and where it leaks. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a quote.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What happens if roof problems are left?
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Covered roofs are harder to test. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hartfordbridge can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a small place like Hartfordbridge, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.

Advice
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Areas we cannot reach or that cannot be tested
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below

What electronic leak detection looks like in Hartfordbridge
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Oakwood Infant School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. Shop and office owners around Hart Shopping Centre may find that flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling.
