How electronic leak detection works in Remenham Hill
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. ELD tests the waterproofing directly and locates the breach. It’s testing only, and the repair is for your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. We then send you the results in a written report. Typical surveys look at waterproofing to test before it’s covered and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, on liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and roof terraces and balconies.
Older buildings in small places like Remenham Hill may be 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up is not suitable
- How wet the insulation is
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you. The full list of what we check.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Use boards when working on the roof
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them, where the roof still suits the method.
Do not leave a flat roof leak running. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
FAQs for Remenham Hill
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Remenham Hill?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Remenham Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Remenham Hill is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Can every flat roof be tested?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Share any details you have and we will check whether ELD will work.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In a small place like Remenham Hill, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree the area to be tested.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Local flat roofs in Remenham Hill
The wider area around Remenham Hill has a long history of building, with Greenlands about 1.7 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Rupert House School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Remenham Hill means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. Landlords with a home close to Henley-On-Thames station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
