Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Nackington
Some flat roofs cannot be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. We’ll say if ELD will not work on your roof before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, like drawings or specifications. It saves a wasted visit. If you are worried about failed seams and laps and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Nackington, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Why get it checked now?
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Outbuildings and barns around Nackington are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Nackington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Nackington?
Yes, Nackington is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Nackington?
Yes, Nackington is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Nackington as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
Testing typically takes a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. In a small place like Nackington, access is normally 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.
- 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.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby

- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has 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 will usually ask about:

If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Electronic leak detection around Nackington
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Whitefriars Shopping Centre, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts. Take a building like Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen 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.
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. Do not go up yourself.
Useful tips for Nackington property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Do not let outlets block
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them, where the roof still suits the method.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
