Leave it or get it looked at?
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. In a small place like Mockbeggar, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
Electronic leak detection in Mockbeggar
You get a report showing the location of each breach, with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair instead of hunting for the leak. We do not estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. You get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey commercial flat roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and single-ply roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are new roofs to check before paving or planting and holes left by work on the roof.
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. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Electronic leak detection around Mockbeggar
Mockbeggar is within about 3 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. On a flat roof near the sea, edge trims and upstands take the brunt of the wind, and metal parts corrode faster. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
With Temple Manor about 2.3 miles south, the area around Mockbeggar has a long history. Older houses nearby often have flat roofs added much later, built to very different standards from the main roof. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Pentagon Shopping Centre, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. For landlords with property near Higham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Rural addresses near Mockbeggar can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you let us know about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Tell us where we can park nearby

FAQs for Mockbeggar
Is the coastal weather around Mockbeggar hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows, and Mockbeggar is within about 3 miles of the coast.
Will you come out to Mockbeggar?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.
How is ELD priced?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. To get a quote, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What is electronic leak detection?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How the survey changes by roof type
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Testing a liquid-applied roof depends on what’s beneath the coating.
Inverted and paved roofs
On inverted roofs, insulation sits above the membrane, which affects testing.
How we price electronic leak detection
To price your survey, we check:
- Roof area
