Electronic leak detection in Hursley, Hampshire
Electronic leak detection in Hursley from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
Different roofs, different checks
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs often have seams and patches that can leak. We test where the roof suits it.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Pinholes in a coating can let water through. Where the roof suits it, testing can find them.
Electronic leak detection in Hursley
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Hursley and across London and the South East. Testing normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. You get a written report with photographs. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, flat roof membranes and single-ply roofs, and people most frequently book us about damage from equipment installers and leaking laps in the waterproofing.
Older buildings in small places like Hursley may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
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.

Flat and commercial roofs around Hursley
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask. A number of Hampshire 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. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you let a flat or house near Shawford station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as John Keble Church of England Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Rural addresses near Hursley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Find any records of previous roof work
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
Questions about the results are welcome. We can talk you through the findings.
Check contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Hursley
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the flat roof membrane, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
