Electronic leak detection in Knights Enham: what you get
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We will tell you if the roof can’t be tested. We survey green roofs, single-ply roofs and flat roof membranes, and common reasons people get in touch are a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and new membranes needing a check before handover.
In a village or hamlet like Knights Enham, 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. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What we do, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Older rural homes like those around Knights Enham can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

What affects the price in Knights Enham
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
What to tell us when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.
DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Knights Enham
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
For landlords with property near Andover station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Michael and All Angels, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Take a building like Roman Way Primary School: a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

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. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Knights Enham, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Test new membranes before covering them
After your roofer repairs the breaches, a retest can confirm them if the build-up allows.
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is worth considering. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
