Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Stony Green
ELD is a way of pinpointing breaches in a flat roof’s waterproofing membrane. It works with an electrical current which can only get through the membrane at 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. If you are worried about stains far from any visible defect and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, we can find out what’s behind it, on liquid-applied waterproofing, green roofs and flat roof membranes alike.
Somewhere as small as Stony Green, 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. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Questions from Stony Green
Is my home in Stony Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stony Green?
Yes, Stony Green is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
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, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How do I book a survey in Stony Green?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
Can every flat roof be tested?
Not every roof is suitable. Some membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. If your roof won’t work, we’ll say so before testing.
Why it is worth a survey now in Stony Green
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs 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.

Read what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How big the roof is
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
For a price for your roof in Stony Green, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- What made you get in touch
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Stony Green?
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. ELD can work on some covered roofs, depending on the build-up.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
If you let a flat or house near Great Missenden station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What experience they bring
Local flat roofs in Stony Green
About 2.7 miles south lies Hughenden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Stony Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Take a building like Prestwood Junior School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

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 normally takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Somewhere like Stony Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, you tell us about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- 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.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
