How electronic leak detection works in Spanish Green
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair instead of hunting for the leak. We do not estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. 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. If you’ve noticed damp inside with no sign on the roof and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roof membranes, commercial flat roofs and green roofs alike.
In a small place like Spanish Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Tips that help
Getting the most from electronic leak detection starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Don’t leave water getting in
- Don’t keep patching the same spot
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we will note it, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
Why get it checked now?
Testing a new membrane before it’s covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Once layers are added, finding a breach is harder. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Spanish Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Why book with us
- A written report with photos
- An independent look at the roof
- Surveys seven days a week
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

What a survey costs
To price your survey, we look at:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What made you get in touch
- The kind of building and roof involved
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, tell us about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Spanish Green questions
Is Spanish Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Spanish Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
How do I find out if my home in Spanish Green is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
Not every roof is suitable. Certain membranes are conductive, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. If your roof won’t work, we will say so before testing.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. In a small place like Spanish Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, you tell us about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Local flat roofs in Spanish Green
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. The wider area around Spanish Green has a long history of building, with Stratfield Saye House about 1.8 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Bramley (Hants) station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Daneshill School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
