How electronic leak detection works in Murrell Green
A leak in a flat roof often shows up a long way from where the water gets in. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. ELD tests the waterproofing directly and locates the breach. We test and report and leave the repair to your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. We then send you the results in a written report. We survey flat roof membranes, roof terraces and balconies and liquid-applied waterproofing, and common reasons people get in touch are patched roofs that still leak and holes left by work on the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Murrell Green 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. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Different roofs, different checks
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer, but can still have thin spots or holes. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
Green and ballasted roofs
Roofs with planting or ballast hide the membrane. Some methods can work through these layers but it depends on the layers.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Limit access to the roof
- Share any drawings of the roof
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Make sure contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
Local flat roofs in Murrell Green
With Stratfield Saye House about 4.9 miles north-west, Murrell Green 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
The streets around a church such as St John the Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a hamlet or village like Murrell Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
Advice
What affects the price in Murrell Green
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Signs you need electronic leak detection in Murrell Green
Repeated leaks after repairs suggest the real breach hasn’t been found. ELD can locate the breach more precisely.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Gaps at membrane joints
Anyone responsible for a site like Hook Junior School will know that a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
What to check before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
