- Fixing the holes we find
- Sections we cannot safely access

Electronic leak detection in Hearnden Green
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends, depending on the weather. Let us know about your roof to find out more. We survey commercial flat roofs, flat roof membranes and green roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are punctures from foot traffic or tools and leaks under green or ballasted roofs.
Somewhere as small as Hearnden Green, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. 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. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the flat roof membrane as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Cottages and farmhouses around Hearnden Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking before the day

Green and ballasted roofs
Parts of the covering may have to come up. We discuss this before quoting.
What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: 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.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Limit access to the roof
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Do not let outlets block
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
Questions about the results are welcome. We can talk you through the findings.
Do not leave a flat roof leak running. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
