Questions from Kingsley Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Kingsley Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Kingsley Green as anywhere else.
Is Kingsley Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Kingsley Green 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 as you book.
How long will testing take?
It usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
In some cases. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane, and some may need lifting. We talk this through first.
What is electronic leak detection?
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 Kingsley Green?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
The roof decides the method. You’ll know which method we plan to use before we start.
Electronic leak detection in Kingsley Green
A leak in a flat roof often shows up a long way from where the water gets in. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself, to find where it has been breached. It’s testing only, and the repair is for your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. The results then follow in a written report with photos. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and green roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are repairs that haven’t stopped the leak and new roofs to check before paving or planting.
In a village or hamlet like Kingsley Green, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What we are asked to look at in Kingsley Green
On a flat roof, water spreads under the waterproofing. The stain inside can be far from the hole, so tracing it by eye is difficult.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Holes around roof penetrations
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
Take a building like Fernhurst Primary School: schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether VAT is added on top
Flat roofs in Kingsley Green
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. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Landlords with a home close to Haslemere station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For an older house near a landmark like The Parish Church of St Margaret, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Share any drawings of the roof
Questions about the results are welcome. We’ll explain what was found and what it means.
Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a small place like Kingsley Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- 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
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered
