About our electronic leak detection in Leigh Park
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage testing is usually done with the surface wet and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed. Which one suits depends on the membrane and the layers of the roof, and we will explain our choice. If neither method suits your roof, we’ll tell you before any testing starts. We’re often asked to look into breaches around outlets and penetrations and leaks through a covered membrane, on liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and single-ply roofs.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Leigh Park often have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. If you want them looked at too, mention them as you book. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Different roofs, different checks
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Testing a liquid-applied roof depends on what’s beneath the coating.
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous felt and modified bitumen membranes are common. The build-up decides which method will work.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Leigh Park, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
Questions from Leigh Park
How do I find out if my home in Leigh Park is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Leigh Park within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
ELD doesn’t suit every roof. Some membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. We will tell you if yours is not suitable at the start.
How do I book a survey in Leigh Park?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What is electronic leak detection?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, so wherever there is a hole, it passes through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
What’s the price of ELD?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. For a quote, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Keep outlets clear of debris
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.

Electronic leak detection around Leigh Park
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Leigh Park, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. On a flat roof near the sea, edge trims and upstands take the brunt of the wind, and metal parts corrode faster. About 1.9 miles south-east lies Warblington Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Leigh Park has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building such as Riders Infant School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you let a flat or house near Havant station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Francis, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.
