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.
Electronic leak detection in Hartley Wintney
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points instead of hunting for the leak. We don’t estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. You get a written report with photographs. If you are worried about leaks that return after repairs and stains far from any visible defect, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on green roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and roof terraces and balconies alike.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Hartley Wintney often have flat roofs of their own. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. It’s worth mentioning them when you book, so the visit can include them. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Common questions in Hartley Wintney
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hartley Wintney?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Hartley Wintney within the area you cover?
Yes, Hartley Wintney is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you look in the roof space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. We’ll give you an idea when we quote.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
What affects the price in Hartley Wintney
To price your survey, we check:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. We will confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Why get it checked now?
Some breaches are too small to see. Electronic testing can find breaches you can’t see by eye, on suitable membranes. In an older home around Hartley Wintney, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Hartley Wintney, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Related advice
When to book a survey in Hartley Wintney
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. ELD can work on some covered roofs though it depends on the layers.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damage from equipment installers
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
For businesses in and around places like Hart Shopping Centre, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- When you will get the report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Will the report include photos?
Electronic leak detection around Hartley Wintney
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. 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. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Anyone responsible for a site like Greenfields Junior School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
