Flat and commercial roofs around Hedgerley
About 3.8 miles west lies Cliveden, a reminder of how long the area around Hedgerley has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start. Take a building like Farnham Common Junior School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. For landlords with property near Gerrards Cross station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Electronic leak detection in Hedgerley
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. Repair costs aren’t part of the report, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work, where the roof still suits the method. You get a written report with photos. We survey single-ply roofs, green roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing, and common reasons people get in touch are waterproofing to test before it’s covered and breaches hidden under paving or planting.
Some older homes in villages like Hedgerley are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
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.

Roof by roof
Bituminous membranes
Many flat roofs use bitumen-based membranes. The build-up decides which method will work.
EPDM rubber roofs
Whether an EPDM roof can be tested depends on the membrane and build-up. We look at this first.

With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we cannot reach or that can’t be tested
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Fixing the holes we find
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Can every flat roof be tested?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Let us know what you know about the roof and we will confirm suitability.
How is ELD priced?
We quote for each roof individually. Send us details of the roof, and ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a quote.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Hedgerley
To price your survey, we check:
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Building height and the viewpoints available
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What made you get in touch
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. For a village or hamlet like Hedgerley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Why get it checked now?
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. Electronic testing finds the hole first, so the repair can be targeted. Older and listed buildings around Hedgerley may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
