About our electronic leak detection in Stokenchurch
ELD is a way of pinpointing breaches in a flat roof’s waterproofing membrane. It works with an electrical current that passes through the membrane only where there’s a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. The results come in a report with photos. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and green roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are repairs that haven’t stopped the leak and stains far from any visible defect.
In a smaller place like Stokenchurch, some flat roofs sit in the open, so wind catches loose edges and trims. Sun on a flat roof also ages felt and bitumen. Splits, blisters and lifting edges are what to look out for. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How we price electronic leak detection
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What this survey can’t tell you
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
- The extent of water in the insulation
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Landlords and letting agents in Stokenchurch book surveys as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the flat roof membrane, useful for planning maintenance.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. A visit to Stokenchurch is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

FAQs for Stokenchurch
Is Stokenchurch within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Stokenchurch is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when you book.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What’s the price of ELD?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. To get a quote, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What does electronic leak detection do?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, so wherever there’s a hole, it passes through. That lets us find breaches that are too small to see.
Electronic leak detection around Stokenchurch
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. The wider area around Stokenchurch has a long history of building, with West Wycombe Park House about 4.2 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Stokenchurch Primary School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Finding the breach sooner limits that. Around Stokenchurch, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

When to book a survey in Stokenchurch
Joints and laps in a membrane can fail over time. A gap that is hard to see can let water in long before anyone notices.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Failed seams and laps
If you live in an older home near Stokenchurch Methodist Church, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What they will not be able to tell you
- What experience they bring
