Stalisfield Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Stalisfield Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Stalisfield Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Stalisfield Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Stalisfield Green as anywhere else.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What does electronic leak detection do?
The waterproofing membrane normally stops an electrical current, so wherever there’s a hole, it passes through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Stalisfield Green
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Stalisfield Green and across London and the South East. Testing typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. The results come in a written report with photos. If you’re worried about patched roofs that still leak and stains far from any visible defect, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Stalisfield Green may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Get leaks traced quickly
Questions about the results are welcome. We’ll explain what was found and what it means.
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is worth considering. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
Roof by roof
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer but holes and thin areas can occur. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
Green and ballasted roofs
Testing before planting or ballast goes on is simpler.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Stalisfield Green
Belmont House and Gardens, about 2.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stalisfield Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you own a rental within reach of Charing station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Common roof problems in Stalisfield Green
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. A gap that’s hard to see can let water in long before anyone notices.
Common reasons to book include:
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Choosing a roof surveyor

- Is VAT included in the price?
- What the survey will not cover
