Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes are common on commercial and newer roofs. Laps and fixings are where holes often appear.
About our electronic leak detection in Parker's Green
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. We do not estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. You get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey roof terraces and balconies, liquid-applied waterproofing and green roofs, and people most often book us about damp inside with no sign on the roof and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause.
In a small place like Parker's Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Electronic leak detection in Parker's Green: local notes
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. With Old Soar Manor about 3.4 miles north, Parker's Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near St Andrew, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. Anyone responsible for a site like Woodlands Primary School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. Landlords with a home close to Tonbridge station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Can every flat roof be tested?

What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
How much time does ELD need?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. You’ll know roughly how long before we start.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Older rural homes like those around Parker's Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Related advice
Why act early in Parker's Green
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. Electronic testing finds the hole first, so the repair can be targeted. Older cottages and farmhouses around Parker's Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
