Electronic leak detection in Mayfield
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Mayfield and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. The results come in a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at leaking laps in the waterproofing and damp inside with no sign on the roof, across commercial flat roofs, green roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Somewhere as small as Mayfield, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Somewhere like Mayfield needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
For a price for your roof in Mayfield, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- When you need the report by
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Local flat roofs in Mayfield
The wider area around Mayfield has a long history of building, with Wadhurst Castle about 4.3 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Dunstan, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Mayfield Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Mayfield
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Common roof problems in Mayfield
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs though it depends on the layers.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
Landlords with a home close to Crowborough station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How long the report takes to arrive
Common questions in Mayfield
How do I find out if my home in Mayfield is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Mayfield in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Mayfield is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. For an older or listed building in a place like Mayfield, 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.
