Electronic leak detection in Storrington: what you get
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have or check a new membrane before handover. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays when conditions allow. Just ask about your roof. We survey green roofs, commercial flat roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing, and people most often book us about holes around roof penetrations and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak.
Flat roofs in smaller places like Storrington can be more exposed, particularly where nothing shelters them, so wind catches loose edges and trims. Felt and bitumen also age in strong sun. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. A visit to Storrington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You tell us about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Book a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.

Electronic leak detection in Storrington: local notes
The wider area around Storrington has a long history of building, with Parham House about 2 miles west. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Pulborough station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

When to book a survey in Storrington
Holes in a membrane often come from feet, tools or debris. Many are tiny, but still let water through.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Holes around roof penetrations
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
Anyone responsible for a site like Storrington Primary School will know that a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What the survey will not cover
Useful tips for Storrington property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. Your roofer can advise on that, and moisture readings can help.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
FAQs for Storrington
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Storrington?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Storrington in the area you cover?
Yes, Storrington is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Storrington as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Which method do you use?
We choose the method that suits the roof. We’ll explain why when we quote.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. What sits on the membrane affects the method, so we check the build-up first.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Will you repair the leak?
No, the test finds the breaches and your roofer repairs them. The report gives your roofer the locations.
