Electronic leak detection in Pinkneys Green: what you get
ELD finds breaches in the membrane, not every cause of water getting in. Water coming through walls, copings, rooflights or plumbing won’t show on the test. 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’ll also know what to check next. If you’ve noticed holes around roof penetrations and damage from equipment installers, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In smaller places like Pinkneys Green, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Leave it or get it looked at?
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Covered roofs are harder to test. In an older home around Pinkneys Green, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.

What affects the price in Pinkneys Green
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: 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.

FAQs for Pinkneys Green
Do you cover smaller places like Pinkneys Green?
Yes, Pinkneys Green is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you cover Pinkneys Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
When you need someone else

- Repairing the breaches (that’s for your roofer)
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment

Flat and commercial roofs around Pinkneys Green
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Historic houses like Harleyford Manor, about 2.6 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Pinkneys Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
The streets around a church such as Church of St. James the Less are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses 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. If you let a flat or house near Furze Platt station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Courthouse Junior School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

How it works

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Find the breach before more patching
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It is a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
