Electronic leak detection in Thruxton
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It can be used to trace an existing leak or check a new membrane before handover. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Let us know about your roof to find out more. Common reasons to book are damp inside with no sign on the roof and holes around roof penetrations, on single-ply roofs, commercial flat roofs and green roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Thruxton are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Thruxton: your questions answered
Will you come out to Thruxton?
Yes, Thruxton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Thruxton listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
Not every roof is suitable. Some membranes conduct electricity and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. If your roof won’t work, we will say so at the start.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a 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’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Older rural homes like those around Thruxton 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.
- First, you let us know about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Limit access to the roof
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Have roof specifications to hand
If we think the leak isn’t coming through the membrane, the report says so, with a suggestion of what to check next.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Thruxton
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- If the survey needs 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. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
What to tell us when you contact us
When you call or email, these details help:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Anything about access we should know
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Electronic leak detection around Thruxton
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Amport Church of England Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

A little further out are Andover War Memorial Hospital (3.9 miles east) and Ludgershall Castle (3.8 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Anton Lakes and Quarley Hill.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Thruxton
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
What we’re asked to look at in Thruxton
Holes in a membrane often come from feet, tools or debris. Some are too small to see, but still let water through.
Problems we come across often include:
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Holes around roof penetrations
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
