Electronic leak detection in Snow Hill
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing, not every cause of water getting in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. If the evidence points elsewhere, we’ll say so. It won’t show water getting in through brickwork or around frames. The report makes clear what was and wasn’t tested. We will point you to the likely next step. If you are worried about new roofs to check before paving or planting and leaks that return after repairs, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Snow Hill, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Snow Hill, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, you tell us about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- 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.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

What electronic leak detection looks like in Snow Hill
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. About 3.4 miles south-east lies Saint Hill Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Snow Hill has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

Snow Hill questions
Will you come out to Snow Hill?
Yes, Snow Hill is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Snow Hill?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Snow Hill is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Which method do you use?
The roof decides the method. You will know which method we plan to use before we start.
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Common roof problems in Snow Hill
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The stain inside can be far from the hole which makes it hard to find by looking.
Problems we come across often include:
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
- Leaks showing away from the breach
If you own a rental within reach of East Grinstead station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Practical tips
Getting the most from electronic leak detection starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Let us know about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Don’t leave water getting in
- Find the breach before more patching
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we will note it, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Consider testing a new membrane before it is covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
