About our electronic leak detection in Mimbridge
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use and parts may need to be lifted. We’ll discuss it with you when we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. If testing is not possible, we’ll say so. If you’re worried about holes left by work on the roof and failed seams and laps, we can find out what’s behind it, on single-ply roofs, green roofs and commercial flat roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Mimbridge, 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. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How the survey 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 time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. In a small place like Mimbridge, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Before the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Repairing the breaches (that is for your roofer)
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane

Common questions in Mimbridge
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mimbridge?
Yes, Mimbridge is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Mimbridge is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How does ELD work?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached so we can pinpoint it.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long will testing take?
Testing usually takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Mimbridge
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Mimbridge?
Flat roof membranes can be punctured by foot traffic, dropped tools or debris. Many are tiny, but still let water through.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Damage from equipment installers
Shop and office owners around The Peacocks may find that flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether VAT is added on top
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Why get it checked now?
Testing a new membrane before it is covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Covered roofs are harder to test. Around Mimbridge, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Electronic leak detection around Mimbridge
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Botleys Mansion, about 3.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mimbridge. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Woking station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
