Common reasons to book include:
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Patched roofs that still leak

Electronic leak detection in Hunton
Electronic leak detection, or ELD, finds holes in flat roof waterproofing membranes. It uses a small electrical current that passes through the membrane only where there’s a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. The results come in a report with photos. If you are worried about punctures from foot traffic or tools and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial flat roofs, single-ply roofs and green roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Hunton 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. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Hunton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Hunton?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Hunton listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Tell us what you know about the roof and we’ll confirm suitability.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Hunton?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Electronic leak detection around Hunton
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Also in Hunton
Different roofs, different checks
Green and ballasted roofs
Parts of the covering may have to come up. We explain what’s needed when we quote.
EPDM rubber roofs
Certain rubber membranes are conductive which can limit electronic testing. We’ll say if the test won’t work.
What affects the price in Hunton
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Roof area
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Height and safe access
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: 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.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof

Landlord and commercial surveys in Hunton
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, 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. Older roofs in small places like Hunton can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
