Electronic leak detection in Roser's Cross
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. We do not estimate repair costs; that’s for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. We’re frequently asked to look into holes left by work on the roof and damp inside with no sign on the roof, across flat roof membranes, roof terraces and balconies and commercial flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Roser's Cross, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the flat roof membrane as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Cottages and farmhouses around Roser's Cross often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Roser's Cross
Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
Landlords with a home close to Buxted station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Height and safe access
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You will know the exact price before you book.

- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Roser's Cross?
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. A gap that’s hard to see can let water in long before anyone notices.
Common reasons to book include:
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
