Electronic leak detection in Shamley Green
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. We do not estimate repair costs; that’s for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and commercial flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damage from equipment installers and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause.
Somewhere as small as Shamley Green, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Don’t leave water getting in
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we will note it, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.

Flat roofs in Shamley Green
The wider area around Shamley Green has a long history of building, with Chilworth Manor about 2.5 miles north. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Landlords with a home close to Chilworth station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. Take an older house close to Christ Church: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. Take a building like Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

Shamley Green questions
Do you cover Shamley Green?
Yes, Shamley Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Shamley Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What does electronic leak detection do?
The waterproofing membrane normally stops an electrical current, but a hole lets it through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
How do I book a survey in Shamley Green?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Somewhere as small as Shamley Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know where we can park nearby
