Electronic leak detection in Hook, Hampshire
Electronic leak detection in Hook and the rest of Hampshire. We survey seven days a week.
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
Common roof problems in Hook
A breach can be left during installation. Testing before the roof is covered or handed over helps find them.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Damage from equipment installers
- Leaks that return after repairs
Take a building like Hook Junior School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
How electronic leak detection works in Hook
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help because they show what’s under the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we’ll say so. If you’ve noticed leaking laps in the waterproofing and leaks through a covered membrane, we can find out what’s behind it.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Hook often have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. It is worth mentioning them when booking, so the visit can include them. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

What else we do in Hook
Roof by roof
Inverted and paved roofs
A terrace or paved roof hides the waterproofing. Whether it can be tested depends on the build-up.
Green and ballasted roofs
Roofs with planting or ballast hide the membrane. Testing may still be possible but it depends on the layers.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Hook
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Finding the breach sooner limits that. In a smaller place like Hook, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Hook
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The roof’s overall size
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
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.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- When you need the report by
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Local flat roofs in Hook
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. With Stratfield Saye House about 4.8 miles north, Hook sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to St John the Evangelist: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you let a flat or house near Hook station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. A visit to Hook is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Advice
Hook questions
Is Hook in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Hook is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Hook?
Yes. Hook is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. To get a quote, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How much time does ELD need?
Testing normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
