How electronic leak detection works in Highstreet Green
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Certain membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. We will say if ELD will not work on your roof before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It avoids arranging a test that cannot give results. We survey commercial flat roofs, green roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing, and people most often book us about gaps at membrane joints and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings.
Some older homes in villages like Highstreet Green are 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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Why it is worth a survey now in Highstreet Green
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Locating it early helps limit the damage. For older village homes like those around Highstreet Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

Highstreet Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Highstreet Green?
Yes, Highstreet Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Highstreet Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
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.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
Not every roof is suitable. Certain membranes are conductive, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. If your roof won’t work, we’ll say so before testing.
Will you repair the leak?
No, the test finds the breaches and your roofer repairs them. Your roofer uses the report to target the repair.
When to book a survey in Highstreet Green
Joints and laps in a membrane can fail over time. A gap that is hard to see can let water in for months before it shows.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Leaks through a covered membrane
Whatever the street in Highstreet Green, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
What to check before booking
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How soon the report will arrive
Flat and commercial roofs around Highstreet Green
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For landlords with property near Witley station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. Rural addresses near Highstreet Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- 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 we arrive
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
