Electronic leak detection in Shreding Green
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found, with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. We do not estimate repair costs; that’s for your roofer to price. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with, where the roof still suits the method. You get a written report with photos. We are frequently asked to look into leaking laps in the waterproofing and holes around roof penetrations, across commercial flat roofs, single-ply roofs and flat roof membranes.
In a small place like Shreding Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which frequently last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What we are asked to look at in Shreding Green
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
Look out for signs like these:
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Failed seams and laps
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will the report include photos?
What electronic leak detection looks like in Shreding Green
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Windsor Castle, about 4 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Shreding Green. 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.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Pavilions, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. If you look after a building such as The Iver Village Junior School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

What happens if roof problems are left?

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Cottages and farmhouses around Shreding Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
