Common roof problems in Jury's Gap
When the membrane is buried, holes can’t be seen at all. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs, depending on the build-up.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
Lamb House, about 4.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Jury's Gap. On a period home nearby, any flat roof is likely to be a later addition with its own lifespan.

How electronic leak detection works in Jury's Gap
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage testing is normally done with the surface wet, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane. Which one suits depends on the membrane and the layers of the roof and we explain which we will use. If neither method suits your roof, we’ll tell you at the outset. Common reasons to book are leaks showing away from the breach and leaks that return after repairs, across roof terraces and balconies, commercial flat roofs and single-ply roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Jury's Gap are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What else we do in Jury's Gap
Different roofs, different checks
Green and ballasted roofs
Parts of the covering may have to come up. We explain what’s needed when we quote.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer, but can still have thin spots or holes. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Jury's Gap
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Jury's Gap, 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 often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. 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.
For landlords with property near Rye station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

What you can safely check yourself
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.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Your questions about electronic leak detection in Jury's Gap
Do you cover smaller places like Jury's Gap?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Jury's Gap?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Jury's Gap is within about 1 mile of the coast.
Which method do you use?
We choose the method that suits the roof. We’ll explain why when we quote.
How does ELD work?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. A breach lets the current through so we can pinpoint it.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Jury's Gap?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when you book.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What affects the price in Jury's Gap
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The roof’s overall size
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You’ll know the price for your roof before you book.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Older roofs in small places like Jury's Gap can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, you let us know about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before we arrive
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
