Electronic leak detection in South Weirs
A leak in a flat roof often shows up a long way from where the water gets in. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself, to find where it has been breached. We test and report and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. We then send you the results in a written report. If you’ve noticed a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and breaches hidden under paving or planting, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as South Weirs, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What else we do in South Weirs
Roof by roof
Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well but it depends on the product and layers.
Bituminous membranes
Many flat roofs use bitumen-based membranes. Whether ELD suits them depends on the build-up.
For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. ELD shows the actual breach points. In a small place like South Weirs, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You will know the price for the job before you book.
Why book with us
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

What electronic leak detection does not cover
It’s a careful look at the flat roof membrane, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- How wet the insulation is
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at

Questions from South Weirs
Can you look at the flat roof of a hotel or office near South Weirs?
Yes, we cover commercial roofs as well as homes. Roof access is agreed with the building manager or owner beforehand.
Will you come out to South Weirs?
Yes. South Weirs is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Will you repair the leak?
No, the test finds the breaches and your roofer repairs them. Your roofer uses the report to target the repair.
What does electronic leak detection do?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached so we can pinpoint it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
How do I book a survey in South Weirs?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Electronic leak detection around South Weirs
South Weirs lies within about 5 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Saviour, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. For hotels and guest houses around South Weirs, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest. If you let a flat or house near Brockenhurst station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. On timing, it usually takes as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Rural addresses near South Weirs can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
