How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. In a hamlet or village like Lamberhurst Quarter, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Electronic leak detection in Lamberhurst Quarter: what you get
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or to test a new membrane before it’s covered. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays when conditions allow. Just ask about your roof. If you’ve noticed patched roofs that still leak and breaches around outlets and penetrations, we can find out what’s behind it, on liquid-applied waterproofing, commercial flat roofs and single-ply roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Lamberhurst Quarter, flat roofs are usually 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. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
What affects the price in Lamberhurst Quarter
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

Lamberhurst Quarter questions
Do you cover Lamberhurst Quarter?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Lamberhurst Quarter?
Yes, Lamberhurst Quarter is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How long will testing take?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. We’ll give you an idea when we quote.
What does electronic leak detection do?
The waterproofing membrane normally stops an electrical current, so wherever there’s a hole, it passes through. That’s how we locate breaches you cannot see.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How is ELD priced?
Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Send us details of the roof. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us for a quote.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What we are asked to look at in Lamberhurst Quarter
When the membrane is buried, holes can’t be seen at all. ELD can work on some covered roofs though it depends on the layers.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Waterproofing to test before it is covered
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Holes left by work on the roof
If you let a flat or house near Frant station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
