Electronic leak detection in Sutton Scotney, Hampshire
Electronic leak detection to pinpoint holes in flat roof membranes in Sutton Scotney, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Roof area
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
About our electronic leak detection in Sutton Scotney
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes 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. We can test on weekdays and at weekends, depending on the weather. Tell us about your roof to find out more. Common reasons to book are holes around roof penetrations and punctures from foot traffic or tools, across roof terraces and balconies, flat roof membranes and single-ply roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Sutton Scotney may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Where we cannot see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Sutton Scotney questions
How do I find out if my home in Sutton Scotney is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Sutton Scotney?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What’s in the report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Will you repair the leak?
No. We test the membrane and report. The report shows where each breach is so your roofer can fix them.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Do not leave water getting in
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Test new membranes before covering them
File the report with your roof paperwork. It is a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
Local flat roofs in Sutton Scotney
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For landlords with property near Micheldever station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. The streets around a church such as Ebenezer Methodist Chapel are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In a small place like Sutton Scotney, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
How to book
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
