Electronic leak detection in North Gorley
A leak in a flat roof frequently shows up a long way from where the water gets in. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself and locates the breach. We test and report and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. The results then follow in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed leaking laps in the waterproofing and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like North Gorley are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What we do, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Somewhere like North Gorley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, you let us know about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents and landlords in North Gorley book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof membrane, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A visual inspection can miss tiny holes. ELD picks up breaches a visual check might miss, on suitable membranes. In a place like North Gorley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You will know the price for your survey before you book.

Useful tips for North Gorley property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Find the breach before more patching
- Check new waterproofing before handover
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when fitting equipment. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
North Gorley: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in North Gorley?
Yes, North Gorley is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in North Gorley is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found.
Will you repair the leak?
No. We test the membrane and report. You get the breach locations with photos so your roofer can fix them.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
Not every roof is suitable. Some membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. If your roof will not work, we will say so at the start.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
The method is chosen to suit the roof. Low-voltage methods are normally carried out on a wet roof, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
How we price electronic leak detection
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Electronic leak detection around North Gorley
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. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Historic houses such as Breamore House, about 4.5 miles north, show how far back building in the area around North Gorley goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building like Hyde Church of England Primary School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of the Holy Ascension, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.
