Electronic Leak Detection in Temple Mills
Electronic leak detection to pinpoint holes in flat roof membranes in Temple Mills, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Do not keep patching the same spot
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.
Electronic leak detection in Temple Mills
Some flat roofs cannot be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. If your roof is not suitable, we will tell you at the start. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, like drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that can’t give results. If you’ve noticed leaks under green or ballasted roofs and holes around roof penetrations, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Offices, shops and blocks of flats across London often have large flat roofs with plant, rooflights and walkways. Each pipe, upstand and fixing through the covering is a possible weak point. In Temple Mills, roof access is agreed with the building manager or owner beforehand. Plant bases, rooflights and cable entries are all places where water can get in.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Temple Mills
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The size of the roof
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- When you need the report by
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know where you stand. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- How wet the insulation is
- Some conductive membranes
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Green roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Commercial flat roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Single-ply roofs
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is frequently on a shared landing. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- 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.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know about parking near the property

Leave it or get it looked at?
Cutting open a flat roof to find a leak can cause more damage. Electronic testing finds the hole first so your roofer knows where to work. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
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 the job before booking.
What you get with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Surveys seven days a week

Flat roofs in Temple Mills
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Within a mile and a half or so of Temple Mills there are several hotels, and like offices and blocks, hotels frequently sit under flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, finding the cause of a flat roof leak quickly keeps rooms in use.
Hotels and guest houses near Temple Mills cannot easily close rooms for a leak, so it pays to find faults before guests do. With Sutton House about 1.6 miles west, the area around Temple Mills has a long history. If your home is older, its flat-roofed extension or dormer may be on its second or third covering. For businesses in and around places such as Westfield Stratford City, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling.

Common questions in Temple Mills
Is my home in Temple Mills listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover commercial flat roofs around Temple Mills?
Yes. As well as homes, we look at flat roofs on offices, hotels, blocks of flats and commercial units. For a bigger roof, you’ll get a quote based on the building.
What’s in the report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
