Electronic leak detection in Hatchet Green: what you get
A leak in a flat roof often shows up a long way from where the water gets in. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself, to find where it has been breached. It’s testing only and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. The results then follow in a written report with photos. We survey commercial flat roofs, single-ply roofs and flat roof membranes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks showing away from the breach and leaks through a covered membrane.
Older buildings in small places like Hatchet Green may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Hatchet Green
Do you cover Hatchet Green?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Hatchet Green is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Hatchet Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can every flat roof be tested?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Tell us what you know about the roof and we’ll check whether ELD will work.
How long will testing take?
It depends on the size of the roof and its build-up. We will give you an idea when we quote.
How fast do I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
What’s the price of ELD?
Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Tell us about the roof and where it leaks. Just call 07833 053749 or email us for a quote.
What we’re asked to look at in Hatchet Green
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Fixings, equipment and foot traffic can leave small holes.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Failed seams and laps
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
Anyone responsible for a site like Hale Primary School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. For a village or hamlet like Hatchet Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.

All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office

Why it is worth a survey now in Hatchet Green
Not every leak is in the membrane. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out so attention can go to the right place. For older village homes like those around Hatchet Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Electronic leak detection around Hatchet Green
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Historic houses such as Breamore House, about 2.6 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Hatchet Green goes. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear.
