How electronic leak detection works in Mindenhurst
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Mindenhurst and across London and South East England. A visit typically takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You get a report with photos. If you are worried about new roofs to check before paving or planting and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Mindenhurst are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Mindenhurst questions
Do you cover smaller places like Mindenhurst?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mindenhurst?
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.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
What does electronic leak detection do?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. A breach lets the current through so we can pinpoint it.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.

Why it is worth a survey now in Mindenhurst
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Flat and commercial roofs around Mindenhurst
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sandringham Infant & Nursery School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Have roof specifications to hand
Wet insulation may need attention after a leak. Your roofer can advise on that and other checks can help judge it.
Consider testing a new membrane before it’s covered. It is easier to find holes before more layers are added.
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Cottages and farmhouses around Mindenhurst often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
