About our electronic leak detection in Sarisbury Green
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It can be used to trace an existing leak or check a new membrane before handover. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends when conditions allow. Just ask about your roof. Common reasons to book are punctures from foot traffic or tools and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause, on flat roof membranes, liquid-applied waterproofing and green roofs.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Sarisbury Green often have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. It’s worth mentioning them when booking, so the visit can include them. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Why act early in Sarisbury Green
Not every leak is in the membrane. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out so attention can go to the right place. On a bungalow or cottage around Sarisbury Green, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What you get with us
- Photos and a written report every time
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- An independent view of the roof
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out

Sarisbury Green questions
Is Sarisbury Green within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Sarisbury Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
What does electronic leak detection do?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
How fast do I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. 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, tell us as you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
What we need to know
We will normally ask about:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know
- What made you get in touch
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.

Local flat roofs in Sarisbury Green
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Sarisbury Green, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. On a flat roof near the sea, edge trims and upstands take the brunt of the wind, and metal parts corrode faster. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For landlords with property near Swanwick station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If you look after a building such as Sarisbury Infant School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

What we look at
- Green roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Single-ply roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
How the survey works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Sarisbury Green is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
What we’re asked to look at in Sarisbury Green
Flat roof membranes can be punctured by foot traffic, dropped tools or debris. Many are tiny but water still finds them.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Gaps at membrane joints
Take an older house close to Church of St Paul: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
How the survey changes by roof type
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs often have seams and patches that can leak. Testing depends on the roof.
EPDM rubber roofs
ELD on EPDM depends on the product and the layers. We check this first.
