Priddy's Hard Electronic Leak Detection
Electronic leak detection in Priddy's Hard and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Record dates and spots where water appears
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. We can talk you through the findings.
Act on leaks quickly. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
About our electronic leak detection in Priddy's Hard
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair instead of hunting for the leak. Repair costs are not part of the report; that’s for your roofer to price. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with if the build-up allows. You get a written report with photos. We’re frequently asked to look into leaking laps in the waterproofing and breaches hidden under paving or planting, on single-ply roofs, roof terraces and balconies and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Priddy's Hard take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. Older rural homes like those around Priddy's Hard can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Related advice
When to book a survey in Priddy's Hard
Holes in a membrane frequently come from feet, tools or debris. Some are too small to see but water still finds them.
Look out for signs like these:
- Failed seams and laps
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.
Before booking anyone
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Common questions in Priddy's Hard
Do you cover commercial flat roofs around Priddy's Hard?
Yes, commercial flat roofs are part of what we cover. For a bigger roof, you will get a quote based on the building.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Priddy's Hard?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Do you work in Priddy's Hard?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Priddy's Hard.
