Electronic leak detection in Monxton
Electronic leak detection, or ELD, finds holes in flat roof waterproofing membranes. It uses a small electrical current which can only get through the membrane at a breach. It can find holes too small to spot by eye so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. The results come in a report with photos. Common reasons to book are holes around roof penetrations and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced, on green roofs, flat roof membranes and commercial flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Monxton, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Flat roofs in Monxton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes 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. Take a building like Amport Church of England Primary School: schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For landlords with property near Andover station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Somewhere as small as Monxton, access is often 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, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Before the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Questions from Monxton
Is Monxton in the area you cover?
Yes, Monxton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Monxton as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Monxton?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Share any details you have and we will check whether ELD will work.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What does the report include?
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.
How do you choose the testing method?
The method is chosen to suit the roof. Low-voltage testing normally needs a wet surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
How we price electronic leak detection
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- House, block, shop or office
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Getting in touch
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- When you need the report by
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The property’s address and postcode
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Not every leak is in the membrane. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out, so other causes can be checked. For older village homes like those around Monxton, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Have roof specifications to hand
The report records each breach location with photos. Pass it to your roofer to repair the breach points.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Different roofs, different checks
Liquid-applied waterproofing
What lies under a liquid coating decides if ELD will work.
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous roofs often have laps and old repairs that can leak. Testing depends on the roof.
Can I check my roof myself?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
