Electronic leak detection in Mowshurst: what you get
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Mowshurst and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You get a photo-illustrated written report. If you’ve noticed new roofs to check before paving or planting and breaches around outlets and penetrations, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Mowshurst may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Why get it checked now?
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Once layers are added, finding a breach is harder. In a place like Mowshurst, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

What we look for on each type of roof
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid waterproofing has no laps but holes and thin areas can occur. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
EPDM rubber roofs
Certain rubber membranes are conductive which can limit electronic testing. We’ll tell you if yours isn’t suitable.

Useful tips for Mowshurst property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Don’t leave water getting in
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Share any drawings of the roof
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them, where the roof still suits the method.
Act on leaks quickly. Water under a membrane can spread.
What affects the price in Mowshurst
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
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.
What to let us know when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What’s prompted the survey
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
FAQs for Mowshurst
How do I find out if my home in Mowshurst is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mowshurst?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Mowshurst as anywhere else.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
The roof decides the method. You’ll know which method we plan to use before we start.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Local flat roofs in Mowshurst
Hever Castle, about 2.3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mowshurst. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. If you let a flat or house near Edenbridge station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Take a building like Edenbridge Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Mowshurst, access is often the only tricky part. 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, you tell us about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Getting ready for the survey
