Electronic leak detection in Penton Grafton
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing but not every way water gets in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so. The test shows breaches in the membrane, not water coming through masonry or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. You will also know what to check next. We survey single-ply roofs, green roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing, and the problems we are asked to look at most are holes left by work on the roof and damp inside with no sign on the roof.
Somewhere as small as Penton Grafton, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Penton Grafton questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Penton Grafton?
Yes, Penton Grafton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Penton Grafton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Penton Grafton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long will testing take?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. We will give you an idea when we quote.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What happens after the survey?
You will receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
When to book a survey in Penton Grafton
New membranes can have defects from installation. Testing before the roof is covered or handed over helps find them.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Failed seams and laps
The streets around a church like Holy Trinity Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- When you’ll get the report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Why act early in Penton Grafton
Some breaches are too small to see. ELD picks up breaches a visual check might miss where the roof suits it. In a small place like Penton Grafton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Older roofs in small places like Penton Grafton can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Booking a survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Towns and villages near Penton Grafton
What else we do in Penton Grafton
Local flat roofs in Penton Grafton
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Harrow Way Community School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Penton Grafton is about 2 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. If you are in Penton Grafton, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day.

What affects the price in Penton Grafton
We confirm the price for the job before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Anything about access we should know
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
