Electronic leak detection in Penton Mewsey, Hampshire
Electronic leak detection in Penton Mewsey and the rest of Hampshire. We survey seven days a week.
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Leaks showing away from the breach
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Older roofs in small places like Penton Mewsey can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us 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.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
How to prepare
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

About our electronic leak detection in Penton Mewsey
ELD finds breaches in the membrane, not every cause of water getting in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. The test shows breaches in the membrane, not water coming through masonry or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. We’ll point you to the likely next step. We survey flat roof membranes, liquid-applied waterproofing and commercial flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and new membranes needing a check before handover.
Older buildings in small places like Penton Mewsey 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Penton Mewsey
Do you carry out roof surveys in Penton Mewsey?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Penton Mewsey is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Penton Mewsey listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How do I book a survey in Penton Mewsey?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Electronic leak detection in Penton Mewsey: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. 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.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Penton Mewsey
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How big the roof is
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
When to book a survey in Penton Mewsey
A breach can be left during installation. Testing before the roof is covered or handed over helps find them.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Failed seams and laps
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Leaks showing away from the breach
For an older house near a landmark like Holy Trinity Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
