Electronic Leak Detection in Stonebridge Green
Electronic leak detection to pinpoint holes in flat roof membranes for Stonebridge Green, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. In a small place like Stonebridge Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Stonebridge Green
ELD can be carried out in more than one way. Low-voltage methods typically 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. If you’ve noticed leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and gaps at membrane joints, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Stonebridge Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Local flat roofs in Stonebridge Green
The wider area around Stonebridge Green has a long history of building, with Godinton House about 5 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you let a flat or house near Charing station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If you live in an older home near Church of St James, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Anyone responsible for a site like Egerton Church of England Primary School will know that a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Don’t keep patching the same spot
- Note where leaks show inside and when
If we think the leak is not coming through the membrane, the report says so, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when fitting equipment. Have the roof looked at after other work.
What affects the price in Stonebridge Green
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
