Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Mousehill
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage methods normally need a wet roof surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane. Which one suits depends on the membrane and the layers of the roof, and we will explain our choice. We will say if your roof does not suit either method before any testing starts. We’re frequently asked to look into gaps at membrane joints and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause, on liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and flat roof membranes.
In a small place like Mousehill, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally 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, along with how urgent it is.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Mousehill
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. In a small place like Mousehill, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Arrange a survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.

What else we do in Mousehill
Local flat roofs in Mousehill
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Next to the main roofs there is typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. With Loseley Park about 3.8 miles north-east, Mousehill sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist's Church, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. Anyone responsible for a site like Milford School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Damage from equipment installers
Landlords with a home close to Milford (Surrey) station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Useful tips for Mousehill property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. We’ll explain what was found and what it means.
Consider testing a new membrane before it is covered. It’s easier to find holes before more layers are added.
FAQs for Mousehill
How do I find out if my home in Mousehill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Mousehill?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
We quote for each roof individually. Tell us about the roof and where it leaks, and ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a quote.
What does electronic leak detection do?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. A breach lets the current through so we can pinpoint it.
