Electronic leak detection in South Park, Surrey
Electronic leak detection to pinpoint holes in flat roof membranes in South Park. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.

Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Electronic leak detection in South Park
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It can be used to trace an existing leak or check a new membrane before handover. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Just ask about your roof. Typical surveys look at leaks showing away from the breach and leaks that return after repairs, across roof terraces and balconies, single-ply roofs and commercial flat roofs.
In smaller places like South Park, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In a smaller place like South Park, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.

Questions from South Park
Is South Park in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and South Park is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in South Park?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage testing typically needs a wet surface and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
How quickly is the report sent?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, let us know as you book.
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Get leaks traced quickly
Wet insulation may need attention after a leak. That is something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
What we can’t see
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- Fixing the holes we find
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Flat roof membranes
- Single-ply roofs
- Green roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing

Why get it checked now?
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. Electronic testing finds the hole first so your roofer knows where to work. Around South Park, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

Local flat roofs in South Park
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Luke's, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you run a business near The Belfry, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts. If you own a rental within reach of Reigate station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
South Park is about 1 mile south of Reigate, in Surrey. From houses to flats and shops in South Park, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. South Park is one of the towns and villages in Surrey where we work for electronic leak detection. You can also see our page for Crawley.
