Mayford Electronic Leak Detection
Electronic leak detection in Mayford, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
What we’re asked to look at in Mayford
New membranes can have defects from installation. ELD on a new roof can show holes before they cause leaks.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- New membranes needing a check before handover
If you let a flat or house near Worplesdon station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Electronic leak detection in Mayford
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays when conditions allow. Just ask about your roof. Common reasons to book are new membranes needing a check before handover and breaches hidden under paving or planting, on commercial flat roofs, single-ply roofs and green roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Mayford are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Electronic leak detection around Mayford
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. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. With Clandon Park about 4 miles south-east, Mayford sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you run a business near The Peacocks, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. Take a building like Westfield Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Mayford is about 1 mile south of Woking, in Surrey. Surveys in Mayford work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful look at whatever is safely visible, photographs and a clear written report. Our Surrey coverage includes Mayford.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Older roofs in small places like Mayford can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- 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.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How we price electronic leak detection
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

FAQs for Mayford
Do you cover Mayford?
Yes, Mayford is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mayford?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What do I do with the report?
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.
What’s in the report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
In some cases. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it and parts may need to be lifted. We’ll discuss it before we quote.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Test new membranes before covering them
Wet insulation may need attention after a leak. Your roofer can advise on that and other checks can help judge it.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
What this survey cannot tell you
A survey is a careful look at the flat roof membrane, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- Some conductive membranes
