Electronic leak detection in Iping: what you get
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found, with photographs. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair instead of hunting for the leak. We do not estimate repair costs; that is for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. You get a written report with photographs. If you are worried about leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and damp inside with no sign on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on commercial flat roofs, flat roof membranes and roof terraces and balconies alike.
Some older homes in villages like Iping 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. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

What else we do in Iping
What electronic leak detection looks like in Iping
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. About 2.5 miles east lies Cowdray House, a reminder of how long the area around Iping has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Iping is about 7 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. We carry out electronic leak detection for householders, landlords and businesses in Iping and the surrounding area. Iping is one of the towns and villages in West Sussex where we work for electronic leak detection. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
FAQs for Iping
Will you come out to Iping?
Yes, Iping is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you cover Iping?
Yes, Iping is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
What’s in the survey report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Why get it checked now?
A visual inspection can miss tiny holes. ELD picks up breaches a visual check might miss, on suitable membranes. Around Iping, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Check new waterproofing before handover
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we will note it, so other causes can be checked.
Act on leaks quickly. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
What we’re asked to look at in Iping
Holes in a membrane often come from feet, tools or debris. Some are too small to see, but still let water through.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
If you look after a building like Stedham Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT included in the price?

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. Somewhere like Iping needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
