Electronic Leak Detection in Redenham
Wondering about the flat roof membrane at a property in Redenham? We carry out electronic leak detection in Redenham and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
How electronic leak detection works in Redenham
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves and some roofs don’t have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof is not suitable, we’ll tell you at the start. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It saves a wasted visit. We survey commercial flat roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and flat roof membranes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are new membranes needing a check before handover and damage from equipment installers.
Some older homes in villages like Redenham are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- The extent of water in the insulation

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. In a hamlet or village like Redenham, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Roof by roof
Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well but it depends on the product and layers.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid waterproofing has no laps but holes and thin areas can occur. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
Local flat roofs in Redenham
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Peter in the Wood, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. For landlords with property near Andover station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
