How electronic leak detection works in Rush Green
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Rush Green and the rest of London and South East England. A visit normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You get a written report with photos. We survey flat roof membranes, commercial flat roofs and single-ply roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and leaking laps in the waterproofing.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Rush Green take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What affects the price in Rush Green
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone

Flat and commercial roofs around Rush Green
Ickenham Hall, about 3.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Rush Green. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Take an older house close to St Francis: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. If you look after a building such as Denham Village School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

Questions from Rush Green
Is Rush Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Rush Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Rush Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. For a quote, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How soon will I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know as you book.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Let us know what you know about the roof and we will check whether ELD will work.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Cottages and farmhouses around Rush Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Related advice
Signs you need electronic leak detection in Rush Green
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. ELD can work on some covered roofs though it depends on the layers.
We’re often asked to look at:
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Damage from equipment installers
Shop and office owners around The Pavilions may find that the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after.
What to check before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Why get it checked now?
Patching where you think the leak is frequently misses it. ELD shows the actual breach points. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Rush Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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 it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up is not suitable
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- The extent of water in the insulation
