About our electronic leak detection in Shepperton Green
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have 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. Let us know about your roof to find out more. Common reasons to book are leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and breaches hidden under paving or planting, across commercial flat roofs, green roofs and single-ply roofs.
Flat roofs in smaller places like Shepperton Green can be more exposed, particularly where nothing shelters them, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Sun on a flat roof also ages felt and bitumen. Splits, blisters and lifting edges are what to look out for, along with water that sits after rain. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
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.
Flat and commercial roofs around Shepperton Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. There are several hotels within about a mile and a half of Shepperton Green, and hotels, like offices and blocks of flats, frequently have flat roofs. If you look after one, a leak through a flat roof can put a room out of use.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary Magdalene: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. If you look after a building such as Saxon Primary School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For landlords with property near Shepperton station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Shepperton Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Shepperton Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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.
Is Shepperton Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Shepperton Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Shepperton Green?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Record dates and spots where water appears
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we will note it, so other causes can be checked.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Homes around Shepperton Green often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
