Electronic Leak Detection in Lower Eashing
A careful look at the flat roof membrane at your property in Lower Eashing, and put it all in a report with photographs.
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
Why act early in Lower Eashing
Some flat roof leaks come from walls or details. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out so attention can go to the right place. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Eashing, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Why us?
- A photo-illustrated written report
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Surveys seven days a week
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Lower Eashing
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It helps trace a leak you already have or to test a new membrane before it’s covered. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends, depending on the weather. Just ask about your roof. If you’ve noticed punctures from foot traffic or tools and breaches hidden under paving or planting, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Lower Eashing, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What affects the price in Lower Eashing
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What we need to know
We’ll normally ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, tell us about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Flat and commercial roofs around Lower Eashing
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. Historic houses like Loseley Park, about 2.7 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Lower Eashing goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. If you look after a building like St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you let a flat or house near Godalming station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we will note it, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. For a village or hamlet like Lower Eashing, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, you tell us about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- 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 photographs in a report for your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
Questions from Lower Eashing
Is my home in Lower Eashing listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Lower Eashing?
Yes, Lower Eashing is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. For a quote, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Carrying out the repair work
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
