About our electronic leak detection in Row Town
A leak in a flat roof often shows up a long way from where the water gets in. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself, to find where it has been breached. It’s testing only, and the repair is for your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. The results then follow in a written report with photos. Common reasons to book are waterproofing to test before it’s covered and leaks that return after repairs, across green roofs, commercial flat roofs and single-ply roofs.
Around Row Town, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. It is worth mentioning them when booking, so the visit can include them, along with the main flat roof. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Row Town?
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. A gap that is hard to see can let water in long before anyone notices.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
Landlords with a home close to Addlestone station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see

What else we do in Row Town
What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply membranes
Punctures from foot traffic and equipment are common on single-ply roofs. ELD can locate them.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer, but can still have thin spots or holes. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
DIY checks: what’s safe
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. Do not go up yourself.
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.

Flat and commercial roofs around Row Town
With Botleys Mansion about 1.4 miles north-west, Row Town sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Anyone responsible for a site like Holy Family Catholic Primary School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you run a business near The Peacocks, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.
