What you can safely check yourself
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
About our electronic leak detection in St Ann's Green
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use, and some may need lifting. We will discuss it with you when we quote. Any details of the build-up help because they show what’s under the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we will say so. We survey green roofs, commercial flat roofs and flat roof membranes, and people most often book us about holes around roof penetrations and damp inside with no sign on the roof.
In a small place like St Ann's Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, 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.

Different roofs, different checks
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs frequently have seams and patches where breaches occur. We test where the roof suits it.
Green and ballasted roofs
Testing before planting or ballast goes on is simpler.
What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In a small place like St Ann's 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.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Flat and commercial roofs around St Ann's Green
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. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Around St Ann's Green, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Do you need electronic leak detection in St Ann's Green?
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. A gap that is hard to see can let water in for months before it shows.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Patched roofs that still leak
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Holes left by work on the roof
If you own a rental within reach of Marden station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What insurance they carry
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?

Do you cover St Ann's Green?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and St Ann's Green is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Is St Ann's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.

How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
On some roofs, yes. What sits on the membrane affects the method so we look at the roof first.
What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- How wet the insulation is
- Areas we can’t reach or that cannot be tested
