Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Littleworth Corner
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Certain membranes conduct electricity and some roofs don’t have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. We will say if ELD will not work on your roof before any testing. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It saves a wasted visit. We survey green roofs, single-ply roofs and commercial flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaks showing away from the breach and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Littleworth Corner take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, frequently 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 normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What we can’t see
A survey is a close look at the flat roof membrane, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Carrying out the repair work
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

What else we do in Littleworth Corner
How we price electronic leak detection
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Helping us price your survey
We will typically ask about:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The property’s address and postcode
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Questions from Littleworth Corner
Is my home in Littleworth Corner listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Littleworth Corner in the area you cover?
Yes, Littleworth Corner is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Littleworth Corner as anywhere else.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are part of every report.
How do you choose the testing method?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage methods are usually carried out on a wet roof and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, tell us as you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Littleworth Corner
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. In a small place like Littleworth Corner, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
