Electronic leak detection in Kings Worthy
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Kings Worthy and across London and the South East. Testing typically takes a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. The results come in a written report with photos. We are often asked to look into leaks through a covered membrane and patched roofs that still leak, across commercial flat roofs, roof terraces and balconies and green roofs.
In a small place like Kings Worthy, a flat roof can stand in the open, 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

When to book a survey in Kings Worthy
Holes in a membrane often come from feet, tools or debris. Many are tiny but water still finds them.
Common reasons to book include:
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
Anyone responsible for a site like Kings Worthy Primary School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Questions to ask before you book
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the inside of the roof is included

The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Will you repair the leak?
No, our part is finding the breaches. The report gives your roofer the locations.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
What is electronic leak detection?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, but a hole lets it through. That is how we locate breaches you can’t see.
Local flat roofs in Kings Worthy
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear. If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Different roofs, different checks
EPDM rubber roofs
ELD on EPDM depends on the product and the layers. We check before we quote.
Single-ply membranes
Punctures from foot traffic and equipment are common on single-ply roofs. ELD can locate them.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kings Worthy can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

What happens on the day
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Older roofs in small places like Kings Worthy can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
