How electronic leak detection works in Peckham Bush
You get a report showing the location of each breach, with photographs. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair instead of hunting for the leak. We don’t estimate repair costs; that’s for your roofer to price. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with, where the roof still suits the method. You get a report with photographs. If you’re worried about failed seams and laps and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Peckham Bush may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In a hamlet or village like Peckham Bush, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Booking a survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Related advice
When to book a survey in Peckham Bush
If a flat roof keeps leaking after patching, the hole may be elsewhere. ELD can locate the breach more precisely.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
How we price electronic leak detection
To price your survey, we look at:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Height and safe access
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What electronic leak detection does not cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Areas we cannot reach or that can’t be tested
- The extent of water in the insulation
