Electronic leak detection in St George's Hill: what you get
You get a report showing the location of each breach, with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points instead of hunting for the leak. Repair costs aren’t part of the report, 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 repairs that haven’t stopped the leak and stains far from any visible defect, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roof membranes, liquid-applied waterproofing and green roofs alike.
In smaller places like St George's Hill, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let a good many water into the room below. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Common roof problems in St George's Hill
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
For landlords with property near Weybridge station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the price includes VAT
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Get leaks traced quickly
Keep the report with the roof’s records. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Do not leave a flat roof leak running. Water under a membrane can spread.

What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. A visit to a smaller place like St George's Hill is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
