Electronic leak detection in Oxley's Green
Some flat roofs cannot be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. We will say if ELD won’t work on your roof at the start. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, such as drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that cannot give results. Typical surveys look at breaches around outlets and penetrations and leaks through a covered membrane, on liquid-applied waterproofing, green roofs and roof terraces and balconies.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Oxley's Green take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What affects the price in Oxley's Green
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Height and safe access
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
What to tell us when you get in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- What made you get in touch
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
We confirm the exact price before booking, so you know the cost up front. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Questions from Oxley's Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Oxley's Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Oxley's Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Oxley's Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How quickly is the report sent?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Oxley's Green?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
Sometimes. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through first.
Different roofs, different checks
Liquid-applied waterproofing
What lies under a liquid coating decides if ELD will work.
Inverted and paved roofs
Inverted roofs have the insulation on top of the waterproofing, which affects testing.
What we can’t see
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Fixing the holes we find
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Cottages and farmhouses around Oxley's Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Electronic leak detection around Oxley's Green
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. With Bateman's about 1.9 miles north-west, Oxley's Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
