About our electronic leak detection in Molash
ELD can be carried out in more than one way. Low-voltage methods typically need a wet roof surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane. The right method depends on the membrane and the build-up of the roof, and we’ll explain our choice. We will say if your roof does not suit either method at the outset. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, commercial flat roofs and single-ply roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are water coming in under a flat roof and gaps at membrane joints.
In a small place like Molash, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are usually the first part of a flat roof to go.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment

How we price electronic leak detection
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Height and safe access
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- When you need the report by
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Flat roofs in Molash
With Belmont House and Gardens about 3.8 miles north-west, Molash sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. For landlords with property near Wye station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Molash is about 6 miles south of Faversham, in Kent. If you’re in Molash, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Molash is one of the towns and villages in Kent where we work for electronic leak detection. We also survey roofs in Canterbury.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Molash
Is Molash within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Molash listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How quickly is the report sent?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know when booking.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Molash?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Why get it checked now?
Some flat roof leaks come from walls or details. Testing shows whether the membrane is breached so attention can go to the right place. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it usually takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. Somewhere as small as Molash, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, you tell us about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.

DIY checks: what’s safe
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.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
