Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Lullington
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Lullington and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You get a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, on flat roof membranes, single-ply roofs and commercial flat roofs.
In a small place like Lullington, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which frequently last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Questions from Lullington
Is Lullington within the area you cover?
Yes, Lullington is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Lullington, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it normally shows.
Is the repair part of the test?
No. We test the membrane and report. The report shows where each breach is so your roofer can fix them.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
What does electronic leak detection do?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, but a hole lets it through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Lullington
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Lullington, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. Alfriston Clergy House, about 0.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lullington. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. The streets around a church like Church of St. Andrew are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start. If you look after a building like Alfriston School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Why it is worth a survey now in Lullington
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. In a place like Lullington, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Older roofs in small places like Lullington can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice
How we price electronic leak detection
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The roof’s overall size
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. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
What we need to know
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Do not leave water getting in
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Record dates and spots where water appears
File the report with your roof paperwork. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Don’t leave a flat roof leak running. Water under a membrane can spread.
