Electronic Leak Detection in Rotherwick
Not sure what state the flat roof membrane is in? We carry out electronic leak detection in Rotherwick and across Hampshire.
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Leaks that return after repairs
Leave it or get it looked at?
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. ELD shows the actual breach points. For older village homes like those around Rotherwick, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
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.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- 5,000+ surveys completed

Electronic leak detection in Rotherwick
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It can be used to trace an existing leak or check a new membrane before handover. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Tell us about your roof to find out more. We survey roof terraces and balconies, liquid-applied waterproofing and flat roof membranes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gaps at membrane joints and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause.
Older buildings in small places like Rotherwick may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Rotherwick
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.

Is my home in Rotherwick listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.

What’s in the report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
How it works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Older roofs in small places like Rotherwick can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Signs you need electronic leak detection in Rotherwick
If a flat roof keeps leaking after patching, the hole may be elsewhere. ELD can locate the breach more precisely.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damage from equipment installers
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Holes around roof penetrations
- New membranes needing a check before handover
Take an older house close to Rotherwick Church: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
Before you book anyone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
Different roofs, different checks
Green and ballasted roofs
Testing before planting or ballast goes on is simpler.
Inverted and paved roofs
Inverted roofs have the insulation on top of the waterproofing, which affects testing.
Flat and commercial roofs around Rotherwick
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Historic houses like Stratfield Saye House, about 3.2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Rotherwick goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Whitewater Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. Landlords with a home close to Hook station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
