Electronic Leak Detection in Stoke Poges
Electronic leak detection in Stoke Poges from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Some conductive membranes
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane

Electronic leak detection in Stoke Poges: what you get
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage methods normally need a wet roof surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane. Which one suits depends on the membrane and the layers of the roof, and we’ll explain our choice. If neither method suits your roof, we will tell you before any testing starts. Common reasons to book are leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced, on liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and single-ply roofs.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Stoke Poges often have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. If you want them looked at too, mention them when booking. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Stoke Poges questions
Will you come out to Stoke Poges?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in Stoke Poges is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
What happens after the survey?
You will receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well but it depends on the product and layers.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Small holes in liquid waterproofing may leak. Where the roof suits it, testing can find them.
Why it is worth a survey now in Stoke Poges
Patching where you think the leak is frequently misses it. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. In an older home around Stoke Poges, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

How we price electronic leak detection
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- House, block, shop or office
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
What to let us know when you get in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What kind of property and roof it is
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.
How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Stoke Poges is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Book a survey
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
