Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Madley Park
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We will tell you if the roof can’t be tested. If you’ve noticed damage from equipment installers and leaks through a covered membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and green roofs alike.
Around a smaller place like Madley Park, flat roofs usually cover extensions, garages and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Why get it checked now?
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. Homes in smaller places like Madley Park can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Fixing the holes we find

Questions from Madley Park
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Madley Park?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover commercial flat roofs around Madley Park?
Yes, we cover commercial roofs as well as homes. Roof access is agreed with the building manager or owner beforehand.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
The roof decides the method. We will explain why when we quote.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How does ELD work?
The waterproofing membrane normally stops an electrical current, but a hole lets it through. That’s how we locate breaches you cannot see.
What’s the price of ELD?
Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Let us know about the roof and where it leaks, and phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Use boards when working on the roof
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photos. Your roofer uses it to carry out repairs.
Check contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
What affects the price in Madley Park
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Booking your survey
We’ll normally ask about:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Madley Park

If you look after one, a leak through a flat roof can put a room out of use. The wider area around Madley Park has a long history of building, with Minster Lovell Hall about 2.9 miles west. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
