Electronic leak detection in Lambs Green
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Lambs Green and across London and the South East. A visit usually takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. The results come in a written report with photos. Common reasons to book are damage from equipment installers and leaks showing away from the breach, on single-ply roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and commercial flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Lambs Green are 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.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Flat roofs in Lambs Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary Magdalene church, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. If you look after a building such as Rusper Primary School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For landlords with property near Faygate station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Repairing the breaches (that’s for your roofer)

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the flat roof membrane as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Cottages and farmhouses around Lambs Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
