Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Moor Park
ELD is a way of pinpointing breaches in a flat roof’s waterproofing membrane. It works with an electrical current that passes through the membrane only where there is a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. You get a photo-illustrated written report of each breach found. We’re often asked to look into leaks that return after repairs and damage from equipment installers, on commercial flat roofs, flat roof membranes and roof terraces and balconies.
Offices, shops and blocks of flats across London frequently have large flat roofs with plant, rooflights and walkways. Each pipe, upstand and fixing through the covering is a possible weak point. For a building in Moor Park, access is agreed with whoever manages the roof ahead of the visit. Rooflights, plant supports and pipe entries are common places for a membrane to fail.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Why get it checked now?
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. ELD shows the actual breach points. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Local flat roofs in Moor Park
Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. About 3.9 miles south-east lies Headstone Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Moor Park has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Harlequin Centre, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. Anyone responsible for a site like St Martins School Northwood will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

Moor Park questions
Do you cover Moor Park?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Moor Park as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Moor Park 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. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How is ELD priced?
We quote for each roof individually. Let us know about the roof and where it leaks. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a quote.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Liquid-applied waterproofing
What lies under a liquid coating decides if ELD will work.
Green and ballasted roofs
Some layers may need lifting for testing. We explain what’s needed when we quote.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
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.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Moor Park?
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Failed seams and laps
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Leaks through a covered membrane
Take an older house close to Holy Trinity Church: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
What to check before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether the price includes VAT
How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Moor Park we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
