Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Titchfield Park
ELD is a way of pinpointing breaches in a flat roof’s waterproofing membrane. It works with an electrical current which can only get through the membrane at a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. You get a written report with photographs of each breach found. We survey roof terraces and balconies, green roofs and single-ply roofs, and people most frequently book us about leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak.
Older buildings in small places like Titchfield Park may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Titchfield Park
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Somewhere like Titchfield Park needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- 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 method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Jot down any questions you want answered
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

Questions from Titchfield Park
Is Titchfield Park within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is the coastal weather around Titchfield Park hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows.
Can every flat roof be tested?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Share any details you have and we’ll confirm suitability.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How we price electronic leak detection
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Building height and the viewpoints available
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 we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- When you need the report by
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What this survey can’t tell you
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Carrying out the repair work
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roofs we survey in Titchfield Park
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Commercial flat roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Green roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Single-ply roofs
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
How the survey changes by roof type
Green and ballasted roofs
Roofs with planting or ballast hide the membrane. Some methods can work through these layers but it depends on the layers.
EPDM rubber roofs
ELD on EPDM depends on the product and the layers. We check this first.
Electronic leak detection in Titchfield Park: local notes
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Titchfield Park, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Anthony's Catholic Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you own a rental within reach of Swanwick station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks.
