Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Round Bush
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It can be used to trace an existing leak or to test a new membrane before it is covered. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Let us know about your roof to find out more. We survey single-ply roofs, green roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing, and the problems we are asked to look at most are a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings.
Some older homes in villages like Round Bush are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Electronic leak detection around Round Bush
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. About 2.9 miles north-west lies High Elms Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Round Bush has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. Shop and office owners around Harlequin Centre may find that a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks. If you own a rental within reach of Radlett station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

FAQs for Round Bush
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Round Bush?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Round Bush?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older roofs in small places like Round Bush can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Keep pets in another room
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Inverted and paved roofs
Paving and terraces cover the membrane. Suitability depends on the layers.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes are common on commercial and newer roofs. Seams and penetrations are typical breach points.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Letting agents and landlords in Round Bush book surveys as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the flat roof membrane.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Don’t keep patching the same spot
- Don’t let outlets block
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
Wet insulation may need attention after a leak. That is something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
