Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Hascombe
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Hascombe and the rest of London and South East England. Testing normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part 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. We are often asked to look into waterproofing to test before it’s covered and damage from equipment installers, on liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and flat roof membranes.
In a small place like Hascombe, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which frequently last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Different roofs, different checks
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Small holes in liquid waterproofing may leak. ELD can help locate them on suitable roofs.
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous roofs often have laps and old repairs that can leak. We test where the roof suits it.
Flat and commercial roofs around Hascombe
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. About 4.8 miles north lies Loseley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Hascombe has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Milford (Surrey) station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

FAQs for Hascombe
How do I find out if my home in Hascombe is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Hascombe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
How do you choose the testing method?
The method is chosen to suit the roof. Low-voltage testing usually needs a wet surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What is electronic leak detection?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, but a hole lets it through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for the job before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Height and safe access
- The roof’s overall size
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Booking your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Somewhere as small as Hascombe, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Find any records of previous roof work

Related advice
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Let us know about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Don’t let outlets block
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Make sure contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Why get it checked now?
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Older and listed buildings around Hascombe may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
