About our electronic leak detection in Hyde
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use and parts may need to be lifted. We will discuss it with you when we quote. Any details of the build-up help because they show what’s under the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we will say so. We survey commercial flat roofs, roof terraces and balconies and green roofs, and people most often book us about leaks through a covered membrane and water coming in under a flat roof.
Some older homes in villages like Hyde 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

When to book a survey in Hyde
When the membrane is buried, holes can’t be seen at all. ELD can work on some covered roofs, depending on the build-up.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damage from equipment installers
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Stains far from any visible defect
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Ascension: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Electronic leak detection around Hyde
About 4.4 miles north lies Breamore House, a reminder of how long the area around Hyde has been built on. 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 frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you look after a building like Hyde Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

EPDM rubber roofs
Some EPDM membranes conduct electricity which can limit electronic testing. We will say if the test won’t work.
Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well but it depends on the product and layers.
Your questions about electronic leak detection in Hyde
How do I find out if my home in Hyde is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Hyde in the area you cover?
Yes, Hyde is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you repair the leak?
No, our part is finding the breaches. Your roofer uses the report to target the repair.
What does electronic leak detection do?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, so wherever there is a hole, it passes through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Can every flat roof be tested?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Share any details you have and we’ll confirm suitability.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. In a small place like Hyde, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Booking a survey

Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Find the breach before more patching
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
File the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Act on leaks quickly. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
Why get it checked now?
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. For older village homes like those around Hyde, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
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 it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Why us?
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Every finding written up with photos
- An independent view of the roof
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability

Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
