Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Little Posbrook
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. ELD tests the waterproofing directly, to find where it has been breached. It’s testing only and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. The results then follow in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed breaches hidden under paving or planting and leaking laps in the waterproofing, we can find out what’s behind it, on commercial flat roofs, flat roof membranes and liquid-applied waterproofing alike.
Some older homes in villages like Little Posbrook 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How the survey changes by roof type
Inverted and paved roofs
Paving and terraces cover the membrane. Suitability depends on the layers.
EPDM rubber roofs
Certain rubber membranes are conductive, which can rule out some methods. We’ll tell you if yours is not suitable.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Limit access to the roof
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Many breaches come from foot traffic.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Around Little Posbrook, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about parking near the property

Local flat roofs in Little Posbrook
Little Posbrook lies within about 1 mile of the sea, 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. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Fareham Shopping Centre, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

FAQs for Little Posbrook
Is Little Posbrook within the area you cover?
Yes, Little Posbrook is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Little Posbrook listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No. We test the membrane and report. The report shows where each breach is so your roofer can fix them.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Little Posbrook?
New membranes can have defects from installation. ELD on a new roof can show holes before they cause leaks.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
For landlords with property near Fareham station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
