How we price electronic leak detection
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- The shape of the roof and its details

Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

About our electronic leak detection in Jevington
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage methods usually need a wet roof surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane. Which one suits depends on the membrane and the layers of the roof, and we will explain our choice. If neither method suits your roof, we’ll tell you at the outset. If you are worried about leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and breaches hidden under paving or planting, we can find out what’s behind it, on roof terraces and balconies, liquid-applied waterproofing and single-ply roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Jevington are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. 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.
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.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Some breaches are too small to see. Electronic testing can find breaches you cannot see by eye, on suitable membranes. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Jevington, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

What we’re asked to look at in Jevington
New membranes can have defects from installation. ELD on a new roof can show holes before they cause leaks.
Look out for signs like these:
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Andrew, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Before booking anyone
- Will the report include photos?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

EPDM is a long-lasting flat roof membrane, but can still be punctured.
Inverted and paved roofs
If the build-up rules out ELD, we will say so.
Questions from Jevington
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Jevington, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Jevington is within about 3 miles of the coast.
Will you come out to Jevington?
Yes, Jevington is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
What happens next?
You’ll receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Which method do you use?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage methods are usually carried out on a wet roof and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
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.
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Cottages and farmhouses around Jevington often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- 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
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Tell us where we can park nearby
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Related advice
What electronic leak detection looks like in Jevington
Jevington is within about 3 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Take a building like Willingdon Community School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. Historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House, about 2.7 miles west, show how far back building around Jevington goes. Older homes nearby may have later flat-roofed extensions or dormers, often re-covered more than once.
Jevington is about 3 miles west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex.
