Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Lindford
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we will say so. Common reasons to book are breaches around outlets and penetrations and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, on roof terraces and balconies, liquid-applied waterproofing and single-ply roofs.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Lindford often have flat roofs of their own. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. If you want them looked at too, mention them as you book. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
Where we cannot see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Common roof problems in Lindford
When the membrane is buried, holes cannot be seen at all. ELD can work on some covered roofs, depending on the build-up.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
The streets around a church like Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.
Before booking anyone
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
How the survey changes by roof type
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs often have seams and patches where breaches occur. We test where the roof suits it.
Inverted and paved roofs
Paving and terraces cover the membrane. Whether it can be tested depends on the build-up.
Electronic leak detection around Lindford
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 fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Weyford Nursery and Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

What else we do in Lindford
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the flat roof membrane as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Lindford, 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’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Lindford
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Lindford: your questions answered
Is Lindford in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Lindford is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like Lindford?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Can every flat roof be tested?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Let us know what you know about the roof and we will check whether ELD will work.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. To get a quote, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
