Electronic leak detection in Peasmarsh
ELD can be carried out in more than one way. Low-voltage methods usually need a wet roof surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane. Which one suits depends on the membrane and the layers of the roof and we explain which we will use. We’ll say if your roof doesn’t suit either method before any testing starts. Typical surveys look at damp inside with no sign on the roof and leaks that return after repairs, on liquid-applied waterproofing, green roofs and commercial flat roofs.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Peasmarsh take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply membranes
Many offices and units have single-ply roofs. Seams and penetrations are typical breach points.
Green and ballasted roofs
Testing before planting or ballast goes on is simpler.
How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a hamlet or village like Peasmarsh, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets in another room
How to book
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.

Common questions in Peasmarsh
Will you come out to Peasmarsh?
Yes, Peasmarsh is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Peasmarsh in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Peasmarsh is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Peasmarsh?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Electronic leak detection in Peasmarsh: local notes
Historic houses like Loseley Park, about 1.1 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Peasmarsh goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Take a building like Broadwater School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. The streets around a church such as St Michael are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Green spaces nearby include St Catherine's Hill and Farncombe Wood.
Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we are asked to look at in Peasmarsh
On a flat roof, water spreads under the waterproofing. The stain inside can be far from the hole which makes it hard to find by looking.
Problems we come across often include:
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Holes around roof penetrations
If you let a flat or house near Shalford station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their insurance cover
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Why get it checked now?
Cutting open a flat roof to find a leak can cause more damage. Electronic testing finds the hole first, so the repair can be targeted. Outbuildings and barns around Peasmarsh are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
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. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
