Electronic leak detection in Holme Green: local notes
Holme Green has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half, and hotels, like offices and blocks of flats, often have flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, finding the cause of a flat roof leak quickly keeps rooms in use. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Shop and office owners around The Lexicon may find that flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. Hotels and guest houses near Holme Green cannot easily close rooms for a leak, so it pays to find faults before guests do. For landlords with property near Wokingham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

How electronic leak detection works in Holme Green
Some flat roofs cannot be tested electronically. Certain membranes conduct electricity and some roofs don’t have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. We will say if ELD won’t work on your roof before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, like drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that can’t give results. We survey single-ply roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and commercial flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damage from equipment installers and holes around roof penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Holme Green, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: 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 as you book.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Somewhere like Holme Green needs a little journey planning: 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 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.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Common questions in Holme Green
Do you cover smaller places like Holme Green?
Yes. Holme Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Holme Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What’s the price of ELD?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. For a quote, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
In some cases. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it and parts may need to be lifted. We will discuss it before we quote.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
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. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why us?
- 98% of customers satisfied
- Plain-English reports with photos
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- An independent view of the roof
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Don’t let outlets block
If we think the leak isn’t coming through the membrane, the report says so, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when fitting equipment. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
