How electronic leak detection works in Isington
You get a report showing the location of each breach, with photographs. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair instead of hunting for the leak. Repair costs aren’t part of the report, so your roofer prices the work. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. We survey flat roof membranes, green roofs and single-ply roofs, and people most often book us about breaches hidden under paving or planting and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Isington take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are usually the first part of a flat roof to go.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Local flat roofs in Isington
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. With Farnham Castle about 4.6 miles north-east, Isington sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Cross: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Bentley (Hampshire) station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Isington is about 4 miles north-east of Alton, in Hampshire. Bookings from Isington are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Isington is one of the places in Hampshire where we work for electronic leak detection. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Isington
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Letting agents and landlords in Isington book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the flat roof membrane, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
When you need someone else
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- The extent of water in the insulation
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Flat roof membranes
- Single-ply roofs
- Green roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
How the survey changes by roof type
Inverted and paved roofs
Inverted roofs have the insulation on top of the waterproofing, which affects testing.
Bituminous membranes
Many flat roofs use bitumen-based membranes. The build-up decides which method will work.
What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Somewhere as small as Isington, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
When to book a survey in Isington
A breach can be left during installation. Testing before the roof is covered or handed over helps find them.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Leaks showing away from the breach
If you look after a building such as Binsted Church of England Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Before you book anyone
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What happens after the report arrives
FAQs for Isington
Do you carry out roof surveys in Isington?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Isington is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Is Isington within the area you cover?
Yes. Isington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How is ELD priced?
Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Tell us about the roof and where it leaks. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us for a quote.
Can every flat roof be tested?
Not every roof is suitable. Certain membranes are conductive, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. We’ll tell you if yours isn’t suitable at the start.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
