Electronic leak detection in Moreton: what you get
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Moreton and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. You get a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and leaks showing away from the breach, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Moreton take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. 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. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Older roofs in small places like Moreton can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked

Why act early in Moreton
Cutting open a flat roof to find a leak can cause more damage. ELD aims to locate the breach first so your roofer knows where to work. Outbuildings and barns around Moreton are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Find the breach before more patching
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them, where the roof still suits the method.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Moreton
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Height and safe access
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Helping us price your survey
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Electronic leak detection in Moreton: local notes
Within a mile and a half or so of Moreton there are several hotels, and like offices and blocks, hotels frequently sit under flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, finding the cause of a flat roof leak quickly keeps rooms in use. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you let a flat or house near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Adwell House lies about 3.3 miles south, so building around Moreton goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, any flat roof is likely to be a later addition with its own lifespan. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Moreton means lost rooms as well as repairs.

Moreton: your questions answered
Is Moreton within the area you cover?
Yes, Moreton is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Moreton listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
We choose the method that suits the roof. You will know which method we plan to use before we start.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
How do I book a survey in Moreton?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
When you need someone else
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Fixing the holes we find
- Sections we cannot safely access
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up is not suitable
