The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Cottages and farmhouses around Hungerford often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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 method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Advice
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Hungerford
Some flat roofs cannot be tested electronically. Certain membranes conduct electricity and some roofs don’t have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof is not suitable, we’ll tell you 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 saves a wasted visit. Typical surveys look at waterproofing to test before it’s covered and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, on single-ply roofs, flat roof membranes and roof terraces and balconies.
Somewhere as small as Hungerford, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: 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 when booking.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Electronic leak detection in Hungerford: local notes
With Breamore House about 4.3 miles north, Hungerford sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hyde Church of England Primary School will know that a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. The streets around a church like Church of the Holy Ascension are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Hungerford
Will you come out to Hungerford?
Yes, Hungerford is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hungerford?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Hungerford is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
In some cases. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through first.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
How much time does ELD need?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. You’ll know roughly how long before we start.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- House, block, shop or office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
What to let us know when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
We confirm the price for the job before booking, so you know where you stand. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- How wet the insulation is
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Carrying out the repair work
