Electronic leak detection in Tourner Bury: what you get
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use, and some may need lifting. We will discuss it with you when 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. If you’ve noticed leaks showing away from the breach and breaches hidden under paving or planting, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Tourner Bury, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In a hamlet or village like Tourner Bury, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Tourner Bury
Tourner Bury lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. On a flat roof near the sea, edge trims and upstands take the brunt of the wind, and metal parts corrode faster. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Mengham Junior School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mary's Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Tourner Bury: your questions answered
Is Tourner Bury within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tourner Bury?
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 it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How much time does ELD need?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. We will give you an idea when we quote.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
Not every roof is suitable. Certain membranes are conductive and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. If your roof will not work, we’ll say so before testing.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Why it is worth a survey now in Tourner Bury
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. ELD shows the actual breach points. Outbuildings and barns around Tourner Bury are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Don’t leave water getting in
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Limit access to the roof

Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.
