Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Pitland Street
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage methods normally need a wet roof surface and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed. The right method depends on the membrane and the build-up of the roof and we explain which we’ll use. If neither method suits your roof, we’ll tell you at the outset. We survey flat roof membranes, liquid-applied waterproofing and single-ply roofs, and people most often book us about repairs that haven’t stopped the leak and holes around roof penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Pitland Street, 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. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
All our prices include VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Some conductive membranes
- Carrying out the repair work
- How wet the insulation is

How do I find out if my home in Pitland Street is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
Do you use drones?
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 are a CAA-registered drone operator.

Local flat roofs in Pitland Street
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Landlords with a home close to Gomshall station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Belmont Prep School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. Take an older house close to St Mary The Virgins Church: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Let us know about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
Wet insulation may need attention after a leak. That’s something to discuss with your roofer, and moisture readings can help.
Act on leaks quickly. Water under a membrane can spread.
Different roofs, different checks
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Testing a liquid-applied roof depends on what’s beneath the coating.
Inverted and paved roofs
Inverted roofs have the insulation on top of the waterproofing and that changes how testing works.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Rural addresses near Pitland Street 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.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
