How electronic leak detection works in Temple Park
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help because they show what’s under the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we’ll say so. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, green roofs and single-ply roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are stains far from any visible defect and new membranes needing a check before handover.
In a smaller place like Temple Park, some flat roofs sit in the open, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Felt and bitumen also age in strong sun. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Being in a smaller place like Temple Park doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Getting a price

When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Carrying out the repair work
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane

Prices for electronic leak detection in Temple Park
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- House, block, shop or office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- When you need the report by
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The address and postcode of the property
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Temple Park: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Temple Park is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Temple Park within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What’s in the report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Temple Park
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Around Temple Park, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What you get with us

Checking the roof from the ground
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Act on new leaks promptly
Questions about the results are welcome. We’ll explain what was found and what it means.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Temple Park
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Bracknell, which Temple Park is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Flat-roofed garages, porches and extensions from that era may have been re-covered more than once, or not at all. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them before they’re disturbed.
For businesses in and around places such as The Lexicon, a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks. If you live in an older home near St Andrew, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. For landlords with property near Bracknell station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
