Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Meonstoke
Some flat roofs cannot be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. We will say if ELD will not work on your roof before any testing. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It saves a wasted visit. We’re often asked to look into leaks through a covered membrane and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, across commercial flat roofs, flat roof membranes and liquid-applied waterproofing.
In a village or hamlet like Meonstoke, 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 ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Common roof problems in Meonstoke
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs, depending on the build-up.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
Anyone responsible for a site like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
Questions to ask before you book
- When you’ll get the report
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What the survey will not cover
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it normally takes a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. Cottages and farmhouses around Meonstoke often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Have roof specifications to hand
After your roofer repairs the breaches, a retest can confirm them if the build-up allows.
Act on leaks quickly. Water under a membrane can spread.

Meonstoke: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Meonstoke?
Yes. Meonstoke is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Meonstoke?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Meonstoke as anywhere else.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
Sometimes. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it, and some may need lifting. We’ll discuss it before we quote.
What does electronic leak detection do?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
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.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Flat and commercial roofs around Meonstoke
The wider area around Meonstoke has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 4.8 miles north. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
The streets around a church like Church of St Andrew are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Meonstoke
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The size of the roof
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
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 it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
