How electronic leak detection works in Martyr's Green
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair instead of hunting for the leak. Repair costs are not part of the report; that’s for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed new membranes needing a check before handover and leaks showing away from the breach, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Martyr's Green, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: 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 when booking.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Questions from Martyr's Green
Is my home in Martyr's Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Martyr's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. 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’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
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.
What we are asked to look at in Martyr's Green
Other trades on the roof can puncture the waterproofing. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
For landlords with property near Effingham Junction station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their track record with similar roofs
Flat and commercial roofs around Martyr's Green
With Byfleet Manor about 2.2 miles north-west, Martyr's Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.

Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What affects the price in Martyr's Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How big the roof is
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- What kind of property and roof it is
- When you need the report by
- The address and postcode of the property
To get a price for electronic leak detection in Martyr's Green, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. The address, the type of property and what you need to know help us price the survey accurately.
What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up is not suitable
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Find the breach before more patching
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Limit access to the roof
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photos. Your roofer uses it to carry out repairs.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Around Martyr's Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
