Mursley Electronic Leak Detection
Not sure what state the flat roof membrane is in? We carry out electronic leak detection in Mursley and across Milton Keynes, with plain-English findings.
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- New membranes needing a check before handover
What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- The extent of water in the insulation

About our electronic leak detection in Mursley
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing but not every way water gets in. Water coming through walls, copings, rooflights or plumbing will not show on the test. If the evidence points elsewhere, we’ll say so. The test shows breaches in the membrane, not water coming through masonry or around frames. The report makes clear what was and wasn’t tested. We will point you to the likely next step. If you’ve noticed gaps at membrane joints and breaches around outlets and penetrations, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Mursley are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. 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.
If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How big the roof is
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Anything about access we should know
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What we look for on each type of roof
Inverted and paved roofs
Paving and terraces cover the membrane. Whether it can be tested depends on the build-up.
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs frequently have seams and patches where breaches occur. We test where the roof suits it.
Useful tips for Mursley property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Don’t let outlets block
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Record dates and spots where water appears
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It is a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Rural addresses near Mursley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you tell us about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Flat and commercial roofs around Mursley
About 4.5 miles north-east lies Bletchley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Mursley has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, 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. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Mursley Church of England School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you own a rental within reach of Bletchley station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
