Electronic leak detection in Munstead Heath: local notes
Loseley Park, about 3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Munstead Heath. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Anyone responsible for a site like Busbridge Infant School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. For landlords with property near Godalming station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St John the Baptist Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Electronic leak detection in Munstead Heath: what you get
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself, to find where it has been breached. It’s testing only, and the repair is for your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. The results then follow in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed new membranes needing a check before handover and holes left by work on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Munstead Heath are 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. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Munstead Heath: your questions answered
Do you cover Munstead Heath?
Yes, Munstead Heath is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Munstead Heath as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Munstead Heath listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
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, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you repair the leak?
No. We test the membrane and report. The report shows where each breach is so your roofer can fix them.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
How the survey changes by roof type
EPDM rubber roofs
Whether an EPDM roof can be tested depends on the membrane and build-up. We check this first.
Green and ballasted roofs
Testing before planting or ballast goes on is simpler.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof membrane as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. In a small place like Munstead Heath, 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.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
