How electronic leak detection works in Punnett's Town
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It can be used to trace an existing leak or to test a new membrane before it’s covered. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Just ask about your roof. We survey green roofs, flat roof membranes and commercial flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are patched roofs that still leak and stains far from any visible defect.
Somewhere as small as Punnett's Town, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: 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 as you book.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Punnett's Town: your questions answered
Is Punnett's Town in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Punnett's Town listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
On some roofs, yes. Covered roofs limit the methods we can use so we look at the roof first.

What else we do in Punnett's Town
How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Around Punnett's Town, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
How to prepare
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Don’t leave water getting in
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photographs. Pass it to your roofer to repair the breach points.
Do not leave a flat roof leak running. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
Local flat roofs in Punnett's Town
Historic houses such as Bateman's, about 3.6 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Punnett's Town goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For landlords with property near Stonegate station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. Take a building like Punnetts Town Community Primary School: schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
