Electronic leak detection in Mundy Bois: what you get
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Certain membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. We’ll say if ELD won’t work on your roof before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It saves a wasted visit. We survey flat roof membranes, commercial flat roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks that return after repairs and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced.
In a village or hamlet like Mundy Bois, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

When to book a survey in Mundy Bois
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. ELD can work on some covered roofs though it depends on the layers.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Holes around roof penetrations
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Damage from equipment installers
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St James, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- What happens after the report arrives
- When you will get the report
- What they will not be able to tell you
What affects the price in Mundy Bois
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Height and safe access
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Getting in touch
We’ll typically ask about:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
- Anything about access we should know
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block

The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. Cottages and farmhouses around Mundy Bois often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, you let us know about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Mundy Bois
With Godinton House about 5 miles east, Mundy Bois sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
Take a building like Egerton Church of England Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For landlords with property near Pluckley station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

Questions from Mundy Bois
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mundy Bois?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Mundy Bois?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Mundy Bois as anywhere else.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
What is electronic leak detection?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
What’s the price of ELD?
We quote for each roof individually. Tell us about the roof and where it leaks, and ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a quote.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
When you need someone else
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Areas we cannot reach or that cannot be tested
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
- Fixing the holes we find
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Commercial flat roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Green roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Flat roof membranes

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
