What electronic leak detection looks like in Pamber Heath
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. The Vyne, about 3.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pamber Heath. 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like Saint Luke's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. For landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Pamber Heath is about 1 mile east of Tadley, in Hampshire. We cover Pamber Heath and the rest of Hampshire. Pamber Heath is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work for electronic leak detection. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.

How electronic leak detection works in Pamber Heath
You get a report showing the location of each breach, with photographs. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. We do not estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with if the build-up allows. You get a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and leaking laps in the waterproofing, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Pamber Heath 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. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Questions from Pamber Heath
Will you come out to Pamber Heath?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Pamber Heath?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it doesn’t include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Pamber Heath
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Covered roofs are harder to test. For older village homes like those around Pamber Heath, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
What you get with us
- A written report with photographs
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Roof by roof
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid waterproofing has no laps but holes and thin areas can occur. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
Green and ballasted roofs
Some layers may need lifting for testing. We explain what’s needed when we quote.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Do not let outlets block
- Test new membranes before covering them
After your roofer repairs the breaches, a retest can confirm them, where the roof still suits the method.
Check contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.

What else we do in Pamber Heath
What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Somewhere as small as Pamber Heath, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

When to book a survey in Pamber Heath
Joints and laps in a membrane can fail over time. Small openings at laps can leak long before anyone notices.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Leaks showing away from the breach
Take a building like Silchester Church of England Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
