Electronic Leak Detection in Lions Green
Electronic leak detection across Lions Green, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Leaks through a covered membrane
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photographs. Pass it to your roofer to repair the breach points.
Consider testing a new membrane before it’s covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Lions Green
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work and parts may need to be lifted. We’ll discuss it with you when we quote. Any details of the build-up help because they show what’s under the surface. We’ll tell you if the roof can’t be tested. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and flat roof membranes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gaps at membrane joints and breaches hidden under paving or planting.
In a small place like Lions Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are usually the first part of a flat roof to go.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. Rural addresses near Lions Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave side gates unlocked

- Where the property is, with the postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
We confirm the price for your roof before you book, 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, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What we are asked to look at in Lions Green
A breach can be left during installation. ELD on a new roof can show holes before they cause leaks.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
The streets around a church like The Parish Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What exactly goes into their report
FAQs for Lions Green
Will you come out to Lions Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Lions Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
We quote for each roof individually. Let us know about the roof and where it leaks. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a quote.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage testing usually needs a wet surface and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Flat roofs in Lions Green
Horselunges Manor, about 4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lions Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.

Why act early in Lions Green
A visual inspection can miss tiny holes. Electronic testing can find breaches you cannot see by eye where the roof suits it. In a small place like Lions Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
