About our electronic leak detection in Mundaydean Bottom
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It can be used to trace an existing leak or to test a new membrane before it’s covered. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends, depending on the weather. Tell us about your roof to find out more. If you’re worried about leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings, we can find out what’s behind it.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Mundaydean Bottom take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, usually show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

How the survey changes by roof type
EPDM rubber roofs
Certain rubber membranes are conductive, which can rule out some methods. We will say if the test will not work.
Inverted and paved roofs
On inverted roofs, insulation sits above the membrane, which affects testing.

What else we do in Mundaydean Bottom
What this survey can’t tell you
It is a careful look at the flat roof membrane, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
- The extent of water in the insulation
- Carrying out the repair work

- Single-ply roofs
- Green roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Commercial flat roofs
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Around Mundaydean Bottom, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Mundaydean Bottom
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The size of the roof
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
All our prices include 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.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Anything about access we should know
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Checking the roof from ground level
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
Mundaydean Bottom questions
Is Mundaydean Bottom in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Mundaydean Bottom as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Mundaydean Bottom is listed?
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.
How long will testing take?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. We will give you an idea when we quote.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
How is ELD priced?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. For a quote, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
ELD doesn’t suit every roof. Certain membranes are conductive and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. If your roof won’t work, we’ll say so before testing.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Find the breach before more patching
- Limit access to the roof
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Don’t let outlets block
Questions about the results are welcome. We can talk you through the findings.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
Flat and commercial roofs around Mundaydean Bottom
About 2.3 miles south lies Harleyford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Mundaydean Bottom has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Take a building like Burford School: a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you live in an older home near St Mary the Virgin, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start. Shop and office owners around Eden may find that the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after.
