What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Rural addresses near Lingfield Common can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
Preparing for the visit

How electronic leak detection works in Lingfield Common
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’ll discuss it with you when we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful because they show what’s under the surface. We will tell you if the roof can’t be tested. If you are worried about breaches hidden under paving or planting and holes left by work on the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial flat roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and roof terraces and balconies alike.
Some older homes in villages like Lingfield Common 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Electronic leak detection around Lingfield Common
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lingfield Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. For landlords with property near Lingfield station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

What affects the price in Lingfield Common
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The roof’s overall size
- The shape of the roof and its details
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has 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.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
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. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
