Questions from Redlands
Will you come out to Redlands?
Yes, Redlands is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Redlands in the area you cover?
Yes, Redlands is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Redlands as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Do you look in the loft space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photos are part of every report.
How do you choose the testing method?
The roof decides the method. We will explain why when we quote.
How does ELD work?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached so we can pinpoint it.
Electronic leak detection in Redlands
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. We don’t estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. You get a written report with photos. If you are worried about leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and breaches hidden under paving or planting, we can find out what’s behind it, on liquid-applied waterproofing, green roofs and roof terraces and balconies alike.
Some older homes in villages like Redlands are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What affects the price in Redlands
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Electronic leak detection in Redlands: local notes
The wider area around Redlands has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 2.3 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Anyone responsible for a site like Crondall Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. For landlords with property near Farnham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

- How wet the insulation is

Roofs we survey in Redlands
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Single-ply roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Commercial flat roofs
- Green roofs
How the survey changes by roof type
Green and ballasted roofs
Roofs with planting or ballast hide the membrane. Some methods can work through these layers, depending on the build-up.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes are common on commercial and newer roofs. Laps and fixings are where holes often appear.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Do not let outlets block
- Have roof specifications to hand
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we’ll note it, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.

The survey, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. For a village or hamlet like Redlands, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
