Electronic leak detection in Mogador
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Mogador and across London and South East England. Testing normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You get a photo-illustrated written report. Common reasons to book are holes around roof penetrations and new roofs to check before paving or planting, on flat roof membranes, liquid-applied waterproofing and green roofs.
In a small place like Mogador, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Electronic leak detection around Mogador
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Take an older house close to Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. Take a building like Kingswood Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Mogador is about 2 miles north-west of Reigate, in Surrey. Wherever you are in Mogador, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Mogador is one of the towns and villages in Surrey where we work. You can also see our page for Crawley.

What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
It is a careful look at the flat roof membrane, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Carrying out the repair work
- Some conductive membranes
- The extent of water in the insulation
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Flat roof membranes
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Green roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
- Single-ply roofs
What we’re asked to look at in Mogador
Other trades on the roof can puncture the waterproofing. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Failed seams and laps
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
Landlords with a home close to Reigate station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

Why get it checked now?
A visual inspection can miss tiny holes. Electronic testing can find breaches you can’t see by eye, on suitable membranes. For an older or listed building in a place like Mogador, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Mogador: your questions answered
Do you cover Mogador?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I find out if my home in Mogador is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
On some roofs, yes. What sits on the membrane affects the method so we look at the roof first.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Will you repair the leak?
No. We test the membrane and report. The report shows where each breach is for your roofer to repair.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What’s in the survey report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Cottages and farmhouses around Mogador often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
