Electronic leak detection in Palestine
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or to test a new membrane before it is covered. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Tell us about your roof to find out more. Common reasons to book are gaps at membrane joints and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, on roof terraces and balconies, flat roof membranes and single-ply roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Palestine may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Flat and commercial roofs around Palestine
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. About 4.7 miles south-west lies Idmiston Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Palestine has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Grateley Primary School will know that a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. The streets around a church like Church of St Leonard 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 frequently show the first signs of wear.
Palestine is in Hampshire. We cover Palestine and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and the South East. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small. We also survey roofs in Southampton.
Surveys in SP11 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. That includes homes and businesses on Station Road, Streetway Road and Campbell Close. Close by, we survey roofs in Grateley (1 mile north-east), Quarley (2 miles north), Over Wallop (2 miles south-east), Fox (2 miles north-east) and Kentsboro (3 miles east). Larger places within reach include Winchester (15 miles south-east), Andover (7 miles north-east), Romsey (14 miles south-east), Hyde (15 miles south-east), Tidworth (5 miles north) and Weeke (14 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in Palestine
There is a railway station in Palestine itself: Grateley station. For a walk, there’s Quarley Hill and Winterbourne Downs RSPB reserve.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It normally takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. Older roofs in small places like Palestine can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A visual inspection can miss tiny holes. Electronic testing can find breaches you can’t see by eye, on suitable membranes. In a small place like Palestine, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Common questions in Palestine
Is Palestine in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Palestine is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in Palestine is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. Covered roofs limit the methods we can use so we look at the roof first.
What happens after the survey?
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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How soon will I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
What affects the price in Palestine
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Roof area
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
For a price for your roof in Palestine, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The property’s address and postcode
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Palestine book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof membrane, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What we can’t see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- How wet the insulation is
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
