About our electronic leak detection in Molesey
A leak in a flat roof frequently shows up a long way from where the water gets in. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself, to find where it has been breached. We test and report, and the repair is for your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. The results then follow in a written report with photos. If you are worried about damp inside with no sign on the roof and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around Molesey, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. It’s worth mentioning them as you book, so the visit can include them. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Molesey
A visual inspection can miss tiny holes. Electronic testing can find breaches you can’t see by eye, on suitable membranes. On a bungalow or cottage around Molesey, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
What you get with us
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Weekday and weekend surveys

For landlords and managing agents
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.

Local flat roofs in Molesey
Molesey has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half. For hotels and other commercial buildings, finding the cause of a flat roof leak quickly keeps rooms in use. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
For businesses in and around places such as Bentall Centre, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts. Landlords with a home close to Hampton Court station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Take a building like The Orchard Infant School: a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a smaller place like Molesey, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Common questions in Molesey
Can you look at the flat roof of a hotel or office near Molesey?
Yes, we cover commercial roofs as well as homes. Roof access is agreed with the building manager or owner beforehand.
Will you come out to Molesey?
Yes. Molesey is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What is electronic leak detection?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
What’s the price of ELD?
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, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What affects the price in Molesey
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The size of the roof
