Flat and commercial roofs around Mockbeggar
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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 is typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Martins are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Mockbeggar
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Mockbeggar and across London and South East England. Testing usually takes longer on a large 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. We’re often asked to look into leaks that return after repairs and new membranes needing a check before handover, across single-ply roofs, green roofs and commercial flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Mockbeggar 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.
Where we cannot see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Mockbeggar: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mockbeggar?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Mockbeggar as anywhere else.
Is Mockbeggar within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
In some cases. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it and parts may need to be lifted. We will discuss it before we quote.
What happens next?
You will receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What’s the price of ELD?
Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Tell us about the roof and where it leaks, and call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a quote.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Common roof problems in Mockbeggar
When the membrane is buried, holes cannot be seen at all. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs though it depends on the layers.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Patched roofs that still leak
For any home in Mockbeggar, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
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 with less disruption.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Cottages and farmhouses around Mockbeggar frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
