Electronic leak detection in The Mint: what you get
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in The Mint and across London and South East England. Testing typically takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. The results come in a written report with photos. We survey roof terraces and balconies, green roofs and commercial flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are punctures from foot traffic or tools and breaches around outlets and penetrations.
In a small place like The Mint, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

What electronic leak detection does not cover
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Repairing the breaches (that is for your roofer)
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up is not suitable
- Sections we cannot safely access

What this survey covers
- Single-ply roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Green roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Commercial flat roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
File the report with your roof paperwork. It is a dated record of the membrane’s condition.
Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof membrane as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a small place like The Mint, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photographs shows where each breach is.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Why it is worth a survey now in The Mint
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. Outbuildings and barns around The Mint are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in The Mint
Is my home in The Mint 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.
Is The Mint in the area you cover?
Yes, The Mint is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in The Mint as anywhere else.
What does electronic leak detection do?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, so wherever there’s a hole, it passes through. That’s how we locate breaches you cannot see.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check 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.

Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well but it depends on the product and layers.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
What lies under a liquid coating decides if ELD will work.

Electronic leak detection around The Mint
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you live in an older home near Hope Church, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If you look after a building such as Liss Junior School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
