Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Stonestreet Green
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. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself and locates the breach. We test and report, and the repair is for your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. We then send you the results in a written report. Common reasons to book are leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause, on commercial flat roofs, roof terraces and balconies and liquid-applied waterproofing.
In a village or hamlet like Stonestreet Green, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Do not let outlets block
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
If we think the leak isn’t coming through the membrane, the report says so, so other causes can be checked.
Consider testing a new membrane before it’s covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
How we price electronic leak detection
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The size of the roof
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Height and safe access
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Stonestreet Green questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stonestreet Green?
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.
Do you cover Stonestreet Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can every flat roof be tested?
ELD does not suit every roof. Some membranes conduct electricity and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. If your roof will not work, we’ll say so at the start.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect what can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How do I book a survey in Stonestreet Green?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.

ELD frequently works on single-ply membranes, depending on the type and build-up.
Electronic leak detection in Stonestreet Green: local notes
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. 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 normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. The wider area around Stonestreet Green has a long history of building, with Westenhanger Castle about 3.7 miles east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For businesses in and around places like Ashford Designer Outlet, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. If you let a flat or house near Westenhanger station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. Older roofs in small places like Stonestreet Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

When to book a survey in Stonestreet Green
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The stain inside can be far from the hole which makes it hard to find by looking.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Leaks showing away from the breach
Take an older house close to Church of St Martin: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What insurance they carry
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
