About our electronic leak detection in Isfield
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Isfield and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. The results come in a written report with photos. Common reasons to book are leaks under green or ballasted roofs and breaches around outlets and penetrations, across roof terraces and balconies, flat roof membranes and commercial flat roofs.
In a small place like Isfield, 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 normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Common questions in Isfield
Is Isfield in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Isfield within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Isfield?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Isfield?
A breach can be left during installation. Testing before the roof is covered or handed over helps find them.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
Landlords with a home close to Uckfield station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
File the report with your roof paperwork. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Older roofs in small places like Isfield can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets in another room

Electronic leak detection around Isfield
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Historic houses such as Glyndebourne, about 4.1 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Isfield goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like The Parish Church of St Margaret are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
