Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
About our electronic leak detection in Seale
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair instead of hunting for the leak. We do not estimate repair costs; that is for your roofer to price. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. We survey commercial flat roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and single-ply roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are waterproofing to test before it’s covered and holes around roof penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Seale, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

How it works
It helps 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 more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Somewhere like Seale needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
How to prepare
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
Related advice
Why act early in Seale
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Once layers are added, finding a breach is harder. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

Read how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The address and postcode of the property
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Other services in Seale
How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply membranes
Many offices and units have single-ply roofs. Laps and fixings are where holes often appear.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer but holes and thin areas can occur. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
Flat roofs in Seale
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. The wider area around Seale has a long history of building, with Wanborough Manor about 2.4 miles east. 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.
Take a building like St Paul's CofE Infant School & Nursery: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you let a flat or house near Ash station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. The streets around a church such as Church of St Laurence are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

Seale questions
Is Seale within the area you cover?
Yes. Seale is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Seale?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Seale is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. For a quote, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How long will testing take?
It depends on the size of the roof and its build-up. We will give you an idea when we quote.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
Checking the roof from the ground
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
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. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
