How electronic leak detection works in Longparish
ELD finds breaches in the membrane but not every way water gets in. Water coming through walls, copings, rooflights or plumbing won’t show on the test. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so. It will not show water getting in through brickwork or around frames. The report makes clear what was and wasn’t tested. We will point you to the likely next step. Typical surveys look at breaches around outlets and penetrations and new membranes needing a check before handover, on green roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and single-ply roofs.
Somewhere as small as Longparish, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we do, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Somewhere as small as Longparish, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, you tell us about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- 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.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Why get it checked now?
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Finding the breach sooner limits that. In a place like Longparish, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Do not leave water getting in
- Find the breach before more patching
- Limit access to the roof
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It is a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Check contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Moisture spread under the membrane

What electronic leak detection looks like in Longparish
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you look after a building such as Longparish Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. Landlords with a home close to Whitchurch (Hampshire) station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Questions from Longparish
Do you cover smaller places like Longparish?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Longparish?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Longparish is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
Sometimes. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane and parts may need to be lifted. We’ll discuss it before we quote.
