How we price electronic leak detection
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The size of the roof
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 it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Booking your survey

How electronic leak detection works in Mundon
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. We do not estimate repair costs; that is for your roofer to price. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with if the build-up allows. You get a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at waterproofing to test before it’s covered and leaks through a covered membrane, across single-ply roofs, flat roof membranes and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Mundon take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which frequently 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. For older village homes like those around Mundon, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we look for on each type of roof
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Testing a liquid-applied roof depends on what’s beneath the coating.
Green and ballasted roofs
Testing before planting or ballast goes on is simpler.

FAQs for Mundon
Will you come out to Mundon?
Yes. Mundon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is the coastal weather around Mundon hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows, and Mundon is within about 2 miles of the coast.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No. We test the membrane and report. You get the breach locations with photos so your roofer can fix them.
Electronic leak detection around Mundon
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Mundon, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt in the air is hard on metal flashings and fixings, and wind catches any loose edge on a flat roof. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
If you let a flat or house near North Fambridge station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Older roofs in small places like Mundon can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
