About our electronic leak detection in Nashes Green
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or to test a new membrane before it is covered. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends when conditions allow. Just ask about your roof. We survey flat roof membranes, single-ply roofs and commercial flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaking laps in the waterproofing and stains far from any visible defect.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Nashes Green take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
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.
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Limit access to the roof
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Don’t let outlets block
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. That is something to discuss with your roofer, and moisture readings can help.
Act on leaks quickly. Water under a membrane can spread.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Nashes Green
About 3.3 miles south lies Hall Place, a reminder of how long the area around Nashes Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
The streets around a church like Church of St. Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For landlords with property near Alton station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof membrane as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Around Nashes Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Nashes Green
How do I find out if my home in Nashes Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Nashes Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No. ELD is testing only. You get the breach locations with photos for your roofer to repair.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Which method do you use?
The method is chosen to suit the roof. Low-voltage testing typically needs a wet surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What this survey cannot tell you
It’s a careful look at the flat roof membrane, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Repairing the breaches (that is for your roofer)
- The extent of water in the insulation
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
