Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Locating it early helps limit the damage. For an older or listed building in a place like Mapledurwell, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Electronic leak detection in Mapledurwell: what you get
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. ELD tests the waterproofing directly, to find where it has been breached. We test and report and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. We then send you the results in a written report. If you are worried about leaks through a covered membrane and patched roofs that still leak, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial flat roofs, single-ply roofs and green roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Mapledurwell, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Your questions about electronic leak detection in Mapledurwell
Is my home in Mapledurwell listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Mapledurwell within the area you cover?
Yes. Mapledurwell is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
The roof decides the method. You will know which method we plan to use before we start.
What’s the price of ELD?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. To get a quote, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
It usually takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof membrane, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Older rural homes like those around Mapledurwell can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Related advice
Electronic leak detection around Mapledurwell
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. The Vyne, about 4.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mapledurwell. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Hook station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Shop and office owners around Festival Place may find that the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St. Mary, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
