Electronic leak detection in Minley: what you get
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Minley and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. You get a photo-illustrated written report. If you’ve noticed breaches around outlets and penetrations and damp inside with no sign on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Minley, 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 ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

To get a price for electronic leak detection in Minley, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. A few details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Don’t leave water getting in
- Don’t keep patching the same spot
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we will note it, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Locating it early helps limit the damage. For an older or listed building in a place like Minley, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

Local flat roofs in Minley
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
If you look after a building such as Frogmore Community College, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you run a business near Hart Shopping Centre, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. Landlords with a home close to Fleet station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Common questions in Minley
How do I find out if my home in Minley is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Minley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How quickly is the report sent?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What does electronic leak detection do?
The waterproofing membrane normally stops an electrical current, but a hole lets it through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Somewhere like Minley needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.

Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
