Electronic leak detection in Send Marsh: what you get
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We will tell you if the roof cannot be tested. We’re often asked to look into gaps at membrane joints and new membranes needing a check before handover, on single-ply roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and flat roof membranes.
In a village or hamlet like Send Marsh, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Signs you need electronic leak detection in Send Marsh
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The stain inside can be far from the hole, so tracing it by eye is difficult.
Look out for signs like these:
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Holes around roof penetrations
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Peacocks, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling.

FAQs for Send Marsh
Will you come out to Send Marsh?
Yes. Send Marsh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you cover Send Marsh?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Send Marsh as anywhere else.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
ELD does not suit every roof. Certain membranes are conductive, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. We’ll tell you if yours isn’t suitable at the start.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
Sometimes. The layers on top and the build-up below decide it and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through first.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage methods are typically carried out on a wet roof and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen 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.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.

Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well but it depends on the product and layers.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Around Send Marsh, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
How to book
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Why act early in Send Marsh
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has 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 you get with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Flat and commercial roofs around Send Marsh
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. About 2.7 miles south lies Clandon Park, a reminder of how long the area around Send Marsh 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Send CofE Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. For an older house near a landmark such as St William of York, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
