Pirbright Electronic Leak Detection
Electronic leak detection to pinpoint holes in flat roof membranes for Pirbright and the rest of Surrey. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Damage from equipment installers
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
How electronic leak detection works in Pirbright
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We’ll tell you if the roof can’t be tested. We survey flat roof membranes, green roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damage from equipment installers and gaps at membrane joints.
In a village or hamlet like Pirbright, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Pirbright
Will you come out to Pirbright?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Pirbright is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Pirbright
When we price a survey, we consider:
- House, block, shop or office
- Height and safe access
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Getting in touch
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Sections we can’t safely access
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Single-ply roofs
- Green roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Flat roof membranes
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
Why act early in Pirbright
Not every leak is in the membrane. Testing shows whether the membrane is breached, so other causes can be checked. In a small place like Pirbright, 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, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Electronic leak detection in Pirbright: local notes
Wanborough Manor, about 4.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pirbright. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Knowl Hill School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. For landlords with property near Brookwood station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Michael and All Angels, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Roof by roof
Green and ballasted roofs
Parts of the covering may have to come up. We explain what’s needed when we quote.
Inverted and paved roofs
Paving and terraces cover the membrane. Whether it can be tested depends on the build-up.
What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Rural addresses near Pirbright can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Preparing for the visit

- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
Arrange a survey
