Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Nash
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves and some roofs don’t have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof isn’t suitable, we will tell you before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, like drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that can’t give results. We survey roof terraces and balconies, flat roof membranes and green roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are breaches hidden under paving or planting and damage from equipment installers.
In a small place like Nash, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which frequently last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we are asked to look at in Nash
New membranes can have defects from installation. ELD on a new roof can show holes before they cause leaks.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Patched roofs that still leak
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
If you own a rental within reach of Adisham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What they will not be able to tell you
- What happens after the report arrives

- Will the report include photos?

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof membrane as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. For a village or hamlet like Nash, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets in another room

Useful tips for Nash property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Share any drawings of the roof
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It is a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Consider testing a new membrane before it is covered. It is easier to find holes before more layers are added.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Nash
How do I find out if my home in Nash is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Nash?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
What’s the price of ELD?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. To get a quote, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
In some cases. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it, and some may need lifting. We’ll discuss it before we quote.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No. We test the membrane and report. You get the breach locations with photos for your roofer to repair.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage methods are typically carried out on a wet roof, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
Roof by roof
Inverted and paved roofs
If the build-up rules out ELD, we will say so.
Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well but it depends on the product and layers.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. Outbuildings and barns around Nash 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.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

Flat roofs in Nash
About 3 miles south lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Nash has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
The streets around a church such as Elmstone Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear.
