Electronic leak detection in Tadley
Some flat roofs can’t be tested electronically. Certain membranes conduct electricity and some roofs don’t have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. We will say if ELD will not work on your roof before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It saves a wasted visit. Common reasons to book are leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, on flat roof membranes, commercial flat roofs and single-ply roofs.
In a town like Tadley, plenty of shops, schools and business units have flat roofs. They’re easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling tile. A careful look at outlets, upstands and the membrane itself shows where it stands. If someone else manages the building, let us know so roof access can be arranged.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why get it checked now?
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Finding the breach sooner limits that. Roof faults found early can be planned for, whereas a leak tends to force the timing on you, in Tadley as anywhere.
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What you get with us
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Photos and a written report every time
Take a look at how roof surveys are priced or what we found on two real jobs.
What affects the price in Tadley
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- 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 safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Honest limits
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
- Repairing the breaches (that is for your roofer)
- Moisture spread under the membrane

- Green roofs
- Single-ply roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Commercial flat roofs
- Flat roof membranes
What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In Tadley, many roofs join a neighbour’s, so we look at what can be seen of the shared parts from your side. It’s useful to know about previous repairs, leaks or recent work.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Book a survey
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. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. That is something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
Act on leaks quickly. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

FAQs for Tadley
What do I need to do before a survey in Tadley?
Mostly, it’s about access: the loft hatch, any locked gates and where to park in Tadley. Let us know about known leaks or past repairs as well.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tadley?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can every flat roof be tested?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Share any details you have and we’ll confirm suitability.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How do I book a survey in Tadley?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Local flat roofs in Tadley
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Historic houses like The Vyne, about 4 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Tadley goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Midgham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bishopswood Junior School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Mary's Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
