How electronic leak detection works in North Street
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help because they show what’s under the surface. If testing is not possible, we’ll say so. If you are worried about leaks showing away from the breach and new roofs to check before paving or planting, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like North Street are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Cottages and farmhouses around North Street frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Limit access to the roof
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Share any drawings of the roof
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. That is something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
Flat and commercial roofs around North Street
About 3.9 miles north lies Bentworth Hall, a reminder of how long the area around North Street 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you look after a building such as Ropley Church of England Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

FAQs for North Street
Do you cover smaller places like North Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is my home in North Street listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How do you choose the testing method?
The roof decides the method. We’ll explain why when we quote.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Roof by roof
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes are common on commercial and newer roofs. Laps and fixings are where holes often appear.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Testing a liquid-applied roof depends on what’s beneath the coating.
What we are asked to look at in North Street
Repeated leaks after repairs suggest the real breach hasn’t been found. Electronic testing helps pinpoint it.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Damage from equipment installers
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What the survey won’t cover
- Their report turnaround times
