Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Horsleys Green
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 will discuss it with you when we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful because they show what’s under the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we’ll say so. We survey flat roof membranes, roof terraces and balconies and green roofs, and people most often book us about failed seams and laps and leaks through a covered membrane.
In a village or hamlet like Horsleys Green, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

When to book a survey in Horsleys Green
Repeated leaks after repairs suggest the real breach hasn’t been found. Electronic testing helps pinpoint it.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
For landlords with property near Saunderton station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Is VAT included in the price?
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Rural addresses near Horsleys Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Related advice
Roof by roof
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Testing a liquid-applied roof depends on what’s beneath the coating.
Inverted and paved roofs
Paving and terraces cover the membrane. Suitability depends on the layers.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. In a place like Horsleys Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

Common questions in Horsleys Green
Is my home in Horsleys Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover Horsleys Green?
Yes, Horsleys Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What does electronic leak detection do?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached so we can pinpoint it.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Horsleys Green
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Checking the roof from ground level
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Electronic leak detection around Horsleys Green
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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 a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. With West Wycombe Park House about 2.7 miles east, Horsleys Green sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
