Electronic leak detection in Parslow's Hillock: what you get
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We’ll tell you if the roof cannot be tested. We are often asked to look into leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and gaps at membrane joints, across green roofs, single-ply roofs and commercial flat roofs.
In a small place like Parslow's Hillock, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Rural addresses near Parslow's Hillock can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Before the survey

Advice
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Don’t let outlets block
- Find the breach before more patching
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is worth considering. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: 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.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.

Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. Older and listed buildings around Parslow's Hillock may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Common questions in Parslow's Hillock
Is Parslow's Hillock within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Parslow's Hillock?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Which method do you use?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage testing typically needs a wet surface and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
