Your questions about electronic leak detection in Maids Moreton
Do you carry out roof surveys in Maids Moreton?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Maids Moreton as anywhere else.
Is Maids Moreton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
It typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
How is ELD priced?
We quote for each roof individually. Let us know about the roof and where it leaks, and call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a quote.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Electronic leak detection in Maids Moreton: what you get
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help because they show what’s under the surface. We’ll tell you if the roof can’t be tested. We’re often asked to look into leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and patched roofs that still leak, across green roofs, flat roof membranes and commercial flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Maids Moreton, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Flat roofs in Maids Moreton
The wider area around Maids Moreton has a long history of building, with Stowe House about 2.3 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Maids Moreton Church of England School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Maids Moreton
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The size of the roof
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
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.

The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Somewhere as small as Maids Moreton, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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 method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
After your roofer repairs the breaches, a retest can confirm them, where the roof still suits the method.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when fitting equipment. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. ELD shows the actual breach points. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Maids Moreton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Common roof problems in Maids Moreton
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. Small openings at laps can leak for months before it shows.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- New membranes needing a check before handover
Take an older house close to Church of St Edmund: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
