Electronic leak detection in Pamber End: what you get
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself, to find where it has been breached. We test and report, and the repair is for your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. We then send you the results in a written report. We’re often asked to look into breaches hidden under paving or planting and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause, on liquid-applied waterproofing, commercial flat roofs and green roofs.
Somewhere as small as Pamber End, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What we’re asked to look at in Pamber End
New membranes can have defects from installation. Testing before the roof is covered or handed over helps find them.
Look out for signs like these:
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
For landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Find the breach before more patching
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It’s a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Make sure contractors protect the waterproofing when fitting equipment. Have the roof looked at after other work.

Related advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Pamber End, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

Flat and commercial roofs around Pamber End
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. About 2 miles south-east lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Pamber End has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like The Priory Primary School will know that schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For an older house near a landmark such as Pamber Priory, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.

Pamber End questions

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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.

What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
In some cases. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane, and some may need lifting. We will discuss it before we quote.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
