How we price electronic leak detection
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Height and safe access
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
All our prices include VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
We’ll normally ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
How electronic leak detection works in Nutfield
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use, and some may need lifting. We’ll discuss it with you when we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We’ll tell you if the roof can’t be tested. We survey single-ply roofs, roof terraces and balconies and green roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are new roofs to check before paving or planting and holes around roof penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Nutfield, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Nutfield
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you look after a building such as Nutfield Church CofE Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Belfry, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. If you own a rental within reach of Nutfield station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

What we look for on each type of roof
Green and ballasted roofs
Green roofs and ballasted roofs cover the waterproofing. Testing may still be possible, depending on the build-up.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
What lies under a liquid coating decides if ELD will work.
Nutfield questions
Will you come out to Nutfield?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Nutfield?
Yes, Nutfield is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
Can every flat roof be tested?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Share any details you have and we will confirm suitability.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
Sometimes. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through first.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around Nutfield, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Booking a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.
Honest limits
It is a careful look at the flat roof membrane, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- Sections we can’t safely access
- The extent of water in the insulation
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
