How electronic leak detection works in Tattenham Corner
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found, with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. We don’t estimate repair costs; that’s for your roofer to price. Testing again after repairs can confirm the breaches have been dealt with, where the roof still suits the method. You get a report with photographs. We survey green roofs, flat roof membranes and roof terraces and balconies, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damage from equipment installers and waterproofing to test before it’s covered.
Older buildings in small places like Tattenham Corner may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. 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.
We keep jargon out of it: 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:
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Limit access to the roof
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. We will explain what was found and what it means.
Check contractors protect the waterproofing when fitting equipment. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Why get it checked now?
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Locating it early helps limit the damage. In a small place like Tattenham Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Somewhere as small as Tattenham Corner, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
Electronic leak detection in Tattenham Corner: local notes
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. With Fitznells Manor about 3 miles north, Tattenham Corner sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For businesses in and around places such as The Ashley Centre, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. If you own a rental within reach of Tattenham Corner station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If you live in an older home near St Mark, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

FAQs for Tattenham Corner
Will you come out to Tattenham Corner?
Yes, Tattenham Corner is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is Tattenham Corner in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Tattenham Corner as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage methods are normally carried out on a wet roof and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
It depends on the size of the roof and its build-up. You will know roughly how long before we start.
Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply can be punctured by tools or fixings. Testing helps find them.
EPDM rubber roofs
ELD on EPDM depends on the product and the layers. We check before we quote.
