Electronic leak detection in Lower Green
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. Repair costs are not part of the report, so your roofer prices the work. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. We survey roof terraces and balconies, commercial flat roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing, and people most often book us about gaps at membrane joints and holes left by work on the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Green, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

When to book a survey in Lower Green
Flat roof membranes can be punctured by foot traffic, dropped tools or debris. Some are too small to see, but still let water through.
Common reasons to book include:
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Bentall Centre, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling.
Questions to ask before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price

FAQs for Lower Green
Will you come out to Lower Green?
Yes, Lower Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Lower Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
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 talk this through first.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Local flat roofs in Lower Green
About 1.9 miles north-east lies Hampton Court Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Lower Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For landlords with property near Esher station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Let us know about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. That is something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
Consider testing a new membrane before it’s covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Somewhere as small as Lower Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Different roofs, different checks
Inverted and paved roofs
If the build-up rules out ELD, we will say so.
EPDM rubber roofs
Whether an EPDM roof can be tested depends on the membrane and build-up. We check before we quote.
What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Carrying out the repair work
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up is not suitable
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
