Electronic leak detection in Teasley Mead: what you get
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful, as they show what lies beneath the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we will say so. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, green roofs and commercial flat roofs, and people most often book us about repairs that haven’t stopped the leak and waterproofing to test before it’s covered.
In a small place like Teasley Mead, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Why get it checked now?
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Covered roofs are harder to test. In a place like Teasley Mead, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

What else we do in Teasley Mead
How we price electronic leak detection
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You’ll know the price for your survey before you book.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Teasley Mead: your questions answered
Is Teasley Mead in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Teasley Mead is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Teasley Mead 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.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.
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.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. Older rural homes like those around Teasley Mead can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Local flat roofs in Teasley Mead
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. The wider area around Teasley Mead has a long history of building, with Groombridge Place about 2.4 miles south-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

When to book a survey in Teasley Mead
Holes in a membrane often come from feet, tools or debris. Many are tiny, but still let water through.
Look out for signs like these:
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Patched roofs that still leak
If you let a flat or house near Ashurst Kent station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
