After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Around Nash Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
Preparing for the visit

Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Nash Street
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Nash Street and the rest of London and the South East. A visit typically takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You get a written report with photographs. We are often asked to look into a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and new roofs to check before paving or planting, on liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and roof terraces and balconies.
Older buildings in small places like Nash Street 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. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Different roofs, different checks
Bituminous membranes
Many flat roofs use bitumen-based membranes. The build-up decides which method will work.
Inverted and paved roofs
On inverted roofs, insulation sits above the membrane, which affects testing.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Nash Street
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- House, block, shop or office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The roof’s overall size
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What kind of property and roof it is
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Nash Street
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Horselunges Manor, about 2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nash Street. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Landlords with a home close to Berwick (Sussex) station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Chiddingly Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Honest limits
A survey is a careful look at the flat roof membrane, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Areas we can’t reach or that can’t be tested
- Some conductive membranes
- Fixing the holes we find
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Commercial flat roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Flat roof membranes
- Single-ply roofs
- Green roofs

Leave it or get it looked at?
Some breaches are too small to see. Electronic testing can find breaches you can’t see by eye, on suitable membranes. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Nash Street: your questions answered
Is my home in Nash Street listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Nash Street?
Yes, Nash Street is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What is electronic leak detection?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. A breach lets the current through, which shows us where the hole is.
How do I book a survey in Nash Street?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
