Electronic leak detection in Trotton Marsh
ELD finds breaches in the membrane but not every way water gets in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. It won’t show water getting in through brickwork or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. You’ll also know what to check next. We survey green roofs, single-ply roofs and roof terraces and balconies, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and leaking laps in the waterproofing.
Older buildings in small places like Trotton Marsh may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What affects the price in Trotton Marsh
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The size of the roof
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
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.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Trotton Marsh
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Older cottages and farmhouses around Trotton Marsh can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
All our prices include VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Why us?

See our cost guide or our case studies.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Keep outlets clear of debris
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we’ll note it, so other causes can be checked.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
What we’re asked to look at in Trotton Marsh
Holes in a membrane often come from feet, tools or debris. Some are too small to see but water still finds them.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Damage from equipment installers
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
Landlords with a home close to Liphook station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

FAQs for Trotton Marsh

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Older rural homes like those around Trotton Marsh can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.

- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
