Know where you stand with the flat roof membrane before you spend money on it. We carry out electronic leak detection in Sheet's Heath, with photos and a clear written report.

Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Sheet's Heath
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. We will say if ELD will not work on your roof at the start. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It avoids arranging a test that cannot give results. If you’re worried about stains far from any visible defect and patched roofs that still leak, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Sheet's Heath, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. 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 when booking.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Why act early in Sheet's Heath
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Sheet's Heath, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Find the breach before more patching
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Get leaks traced quickly
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. We can talk you through the findings.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.

Questions from Sheet's Heath
Will you come out to Sheet's Heath?

Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Are you insured?

Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. In a hamlet or village like Sheet's Heath, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Roof by roof
Inverted and paved roofs
Inverted roofs have the insulation on top of the waterproofing and that changes how testing works.
Green and ballasted roofs
Parts of the covering may have to come up. We explain what’s needed when we quote.
Flat and commercial roofs around Sheet's Heath
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. 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. Next to the main roofs there is typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For businesses in and around places such as The Peacocks, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. If you own a rental within reach of Brookwood station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take a building like Brookwood Primary School: schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
