Electronic leak detection in Nork, Surrey
Need electronic leak detection in Nork? We can help, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Holes around roof penetrations
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
How electronic leak detection works in Nork
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays when conditions allow. Let us know about your roof to find out more. Common reasons to book are failed seams and laps and new roofs to check before paving or planting, across green roofs, single-ply roofs and roof terraces and balconies.
In smaller places like Nork, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. What it’s covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Flat and commercial roofs around Nork
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. About 2.4 miles north-west lies Fitznells Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Nork has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Warren Mead Infant School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. The streets around a church like St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. For landlords with property near Banstead station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Green and ballasted roofs
Green roofs and ballasted roofs cover the waterproofing. Testing may still be possible but it depends on the layers.
Inverted and paved roofs
If the build-up rules out ELD, we will say so.
Common questions in Nork
Will you come out to Nork?
Yes. Nork is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Nork in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What is electronic leak detection?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, but a hole lets it through. That is how we locate breaches you can’t see.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.

What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Height and safe access
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- When you need the report by
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know where you stand. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Nork, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about parking before the day
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
What electronic leak detection does not cover
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
