How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply membranes
Punctures from foot traffic and equipment are common on single-ply roofs. Testing helps find them.
Green and ballasted roofs
Green roofs and ballasted roofs cover the waterproofing. Testing may still be possible but it depends on the layers.
About our electronic leak detection in Motspur Park
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It helps trace a leak you already have or to test a new membrane before it’s covered. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Just ask about your roof. We survey single-ply roofs, roof terraces and balconies and liquid-applied waterproofing, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps at membrane joints and punctures from foot traffic or tools.
London has a lot of flat roofs: rear additions, dormers, roof terraces and the roofs of blocks and offices. Coverings range from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes, and each fails in its own way. In Motspur Park, as anywhere in London, the right approach depends on what the roof is made of. Older flat roofs are often felt or asphalt, newer ones rubber or GRP.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Motspur Park we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Some flat roof leaks come from walls or details. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out so attention can go to the right place. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You will know the exact price before you book.

Electronic leak detection around Motspur Park
The wider area around Motspur Park has a long history of building, with Southside House about 0.8 miles north-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. 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.
Landlords with a home close to New Malden station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Parking in Motspur Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when booking.

Common questions in Motspur Park
Do you cover Motspur Park?
Yes, Motspur Park is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Motspur Park?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What’s the price of ELD?
Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Tell us about the roof and where it leaks, and call 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
In some cases. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane and parts may need to be lifted. We will discuss it before we quote.
Common roof problems in Motspur Park
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The leak may show some distance from where water gets in which makes it hard to find by looking.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damage from equipment installers
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Stains far from any visible defect
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Matthew's CofE Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- What the survey will not cover
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Some conductive membranes
