Electronic Leak Detection in Quidhampton
Find out the condition of the flat roof membrane at your property in Quidhampton from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Leaks that return after repairs
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply membranes
Many offices and units have single-ply roofs. Seams and penetrations are typical breach points.
EPDM rubber roofs
Certain rubber membranes are conductive, which can rule out some methods. We will say if the test won’t work.
Electronic leak detection in Quidhampton: what you get
You get a report showing the location of each breach, with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. Repair costs are not part of the report, so your roofer prices the work. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with, where the roof still suits the method. You get a photo-illustrated written report. Typical surveys look at new roofs to check before paving or planting and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, across flat roof membranes, single-ply roofs and green roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Quidhampton, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Quidhampton questions
Is my home in Quidhampton listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Quidhampton in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Quidhampton is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will you repair the leak?
No. We test the membrane and report. You get the breach locations with photos so your roofer can fix them.
What is electronic leak detection?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. A breach lets the current through, which shows us where the hole is.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
The roof decides the method. We’ll explain why when we quote.
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Rural addresses near Quidhampton 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Find the breach before more patching
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Act on leaks quickly. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
What this survey can’t tell you
A survey is a close look at the flat roof membrane, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Some conductive membranes
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Carrying out the repair work

Electronic leak detection in Quidhampton: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Overton Church of England Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. Landlords with a home close to Overton station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Not every leak is in the membrane. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out so attention can go to the right place. For older village homes like those around Quidhampton, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
