- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Leaks that return after repairs
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. For a village or hamlet like Kingsley, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Electronic leak detection in Kingsley
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof isn’t suitable, we will tell you at the start. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It avoids arranging a test that cannot give results. We survey green roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and commercial flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are patched roofs that still leak and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings.
Older buildings in small places like Kingsley may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

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, which helps when we check the roof.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Questions from Kingsley
Do you cover Kingsley?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Kingsley is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Kingsley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
What does electronic leak detection do?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, like sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when booking.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can every flat roof be tested?
Not every roof is suitable. Certain membranes are conductive and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. If your roof won’t work, we’ll say so before testing.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Keep outlets clear of debris
The report records each breach location with photos. Your roofer uses it to carry out repairs.
Don’t leave a flat roof leak running. Water under a membrane can spread.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Kingsley
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

What this survey cannot tell you

- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- How wet the insulation is
- Carrying out the repair work

Electronic leak detection around Kingsley
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. If you look after a building like Mill Chase Academy, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. Landlords with a home close to Bentley (Hampshire) station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
