Electronic leak detection in Inhurst
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 is a breach. It can find holes too small to spot by eye so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. You get a report with photographs of each breach found. We survey single-ply roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and commercial flat roofs, and people most often book us about new roofs to check before paving or planting and water coming in under a flat roof.
In a small place like Inhurst, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are usually the first part of a flat roof to go.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. 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 Inhurst can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Common questions in Inhurst
Do you carry out roof surveys in Inhurst?
Yes, Inhurst is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do you cover smaller places like Inhurst?
Yes, Inhurst is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No, our part is finding the breaches. The report gives your roofer the locations.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. Covered roofs limit the methods we can use, so we check the build-up first.

What happens next?

What affects the price in Inhurst
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Inhurst
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.

Electronic leak detection around Inhurst
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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 check with the council. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you look after a building such as The Hurst School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you live in an older home near Saint Mary's Church, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear.
