About our electronic leak detection in Lurgashall
A leak in a flat roof frequently shows up a long way from where the water gets in. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself, to find where it has been breached. We test and report, and the repair is for your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. We then send you the results in a written report. If you are worried about punctures from foot traffic or tools and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Lurgashall 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. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Questions from Lurgashall
Do you carry out roof surveys in Lurgashall?
Yes, Lurgashall is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I find out if my home in Lurgashall is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What happens after the survey?
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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Height and safe access
- The roof’s overall size
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
What to tell us when you contact us
We will typically ask about:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- When you need the report by
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
Electronic leak detection around Lurgashall
With Petworth House about 3.9 miles south-east, Lurgashall sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

What this survey can’t tell you

- Fixing the holes we find
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below

Roofs we survey in Lurgashall
- Single-ply roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Commercial flat roofs
- Green roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Roof terraces and balconies
Do you need electronic leak detection in Lurgashall?
Holes in a membrane often come from feet, tools or debris. Some are too small to see but water still finds them.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
For an older house near a landmark like The Parish Church of St Lawrence, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their insurance cover
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether VAT is added on top

Landlords, agents and block managers in Lurgashall
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
What you can safely check yourself
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.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Somewhere as small as Lurgashall, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
