Middle Wallop Electronic Leak Detection
We take a careful look at the flat roof membrane at your property in Middle Wallop, with photos and a written report.
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Leaks through a covered membrane
Common roof problems in Middle Wallop
A breach can be left during installation. Testing before the roof is covered or handed over helps find them.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Damage from equipment installers
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
Anyone responsible for a site like Wallop Primary School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Are they insured for the work?
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Middle Wallop
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful, as they show what lies beneath the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we’ll say so. If you’ve noticed punctures from foot traffic or tools and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, we can find out what’s behind it, on green roofs, flat roof membranes and single-ply roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Middle Wallop, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Middle Wallop
Is Middle Wallop in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Middle Wallop?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How quickly is the report sent?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What electronic leak detection does not cover
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- How wet the insulation is
- Carrying out the repair work

What else we do in Middle Wallop
Local flat roofs in Middle Wallop
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Roof by roof
EPDM rubber roofs
ELD on EPDM depends on the product and the layers. We look at this first.
Single-ply membranes
Punctures from foot traffic and equipment are common on single-ply roofs. Testing helps find them.
Why get it checked now?
Some flat roof leaks come from walls or details. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out so attention can go to the right place. Older cottages and farmhouses around Middle Wallop can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it usually takes as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Cottages and farmhouses around Middle Wallop frequently 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 cannot see is noted.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
