Electronic leak detection in Hassell Street
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair instead of hunting for the leak. We don’t estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at leaks under green or ballasted roofs and failed seams and laps, on roof terraces and balconies, liquid-applied waterproofing and single-ply roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Hassell Street are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Find the breach before more patching
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Do not let outlets block
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them, where the roof still suits the method.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when fitting equipment. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A visual inspection can miss tiny holes. ELD picks up breaches a visual check might miss where the roof suits it. In a place like Hassell Street, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

FAQs for Hassell Street
How do I find out if my home in Hassell Street is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Hassell Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
How much time does ELD need?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. You’ll know roughly how long before we start.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Share any details you have and we’ll check whether ELD will work.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. For a village or hamlet like Hassell Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about parking before the day

Flat and commercial roofs around Hassell Street
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If you let a flat or house near Wye station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. Anyone responsible for a site like Wye School will know that a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
