Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Peasemore
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends when conditions allow. Tell us about your roof to find out more. We survey single-ply roofs, roof terraces and balconies and flat roof membranes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are breaches around outlets and penetrations and gaps at membrane joints.
In a small place like Peasemore, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally 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 report with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Peasemore: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Peasemore?
Yes, Peasemore is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Peasemore?
Yes, Peasemore is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What is electronic leak detection?
The waterproofing membrane normally stops an electrical current, but a hole lets it through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How do I book a survey in Peasemore?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
What we’re asked to look at in Peasemore
Other trades on the roof can puncture the waterproofing. Fixings, equipment and foot traffic can leave small holes.
Look out for signs like these:
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
In and around Peasemore, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
What to check before booking
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Are they insured for the work?
Flat roofs in Peasemore
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Take an older house close to Church of St Barnabas: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

- Moisture spread under the membrane

Prices for electronic leak detection in Peasemore
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Height and safe access
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What made you get in touch
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. For a village or hamlet like Peasemore, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Useful tips for Peasemore property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Do not leave water getting in
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when fitting equipment. Have the roof looked at after other work.
What we look for on each type of roof
EPDM rubber roofs
EPDM rubber roofs often last 30–50 years, but can still be punctured.
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous felt and modified bitumen membranes are common. Whether ELD suits them depends on the build-up.
