- Leaks showing away from the breach
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. In a small place like Stonecrouch, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Electronic leak detection in Stonecrouch
A leak in a flat roof often shows up a long way from where the water gets in. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. ELD tests the waterproofing directly, to find where it has been breached. It’s testing only, and the repair is for your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. We then send you the results in a written report. If you’ve noticed patched roofs that still leak and stains far from any visible defect, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roof membranes, single-ply roofs and commercial flat roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Stonecrouch, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Useful tips for Stonecrouch property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Find the breach before more patching
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
If we think the leak isn’t coming through the membrane, the report says so, so other causes can be checked.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.
Electronic leak detection around Stonecrouch
With Scotney Castle about 1.6 miles north-west, Stonecrouch sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Stonecrouch is about 8 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Stonecrouch
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The size of the roof
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Height and safe access
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: 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.
Booking your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof

Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Fixing the holes we find
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Single-ply roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Green roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Commercial flat roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Signs you need electronic leak detection in Stonecrouch
Repeated leaks after repairs suggest the real breach hasn’t been found. ELD can locate the breach more precisely.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
If you let a flat or house near Etchingham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
