How electronic leak detection works in North Warnborough
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing but not every way water gets in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. If the evidence points elsewhere, we’ll say so. It will not show water getting in through brickwork or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. We’ll point you to the likely next step. We survey green roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and single-ply roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damp inside with no sign on the roof and leaks through a covered membrane.
In a village or hamlet like North Warnborough, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in North Warnborough
How do I find out if my home in North Warnborough is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in North Warnborough?
Yes, North Warnborough is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in North Warnborough as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
What does electronic leak detection do?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
ELD does not suit every roof. Certain membranes are conductive and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. We’ll tell you if yours is not suitable before testing.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents and landlords in North Warnborough book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the flat roof membrane.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it typically takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Somewhere like North Warnborough 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, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- 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 we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
Advice
Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
File the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is worth considering. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.

Do you need electronic leak detection in North Warnborough?
If a flat roof keeps leaking after patching, the hole may be elsewhere. Electronic testing helps pinpoint it.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Leaks that return after repairs
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- When you’ll get the report
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the price includes VAT
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
How the survey changes by roof type
EPDM rubber roofs
EPDM rubber roofs frequently last 30–50 years, but can still be punctured.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer but holes and thin areas can occur. Suitability for ELD depends on the system.
Electronic leak detection around North Warnborough
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Robert May's School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. Landlords with a home close to Hook station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Why get it checked now?
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. ELD shows the actual breach points. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
