Common roof problems in Trumps Green
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting hide the membrane. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs, depending on the build-up.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
Anyone responsible for a site like Trumps Green Infant School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Trumps Green
Electronic leak detection, or ELD, finds holes in flat roof waterproofing membranes. It uses a small electrical current that passes through the membrane only where there’s a breach. It can find holes too small to spot by eye, so your roofer can repair them. The results come in a report with photos. If you’re worried about leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and damp inside with no sign on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on single-ply roofs, flat roof membranes and commercial flat roofs alike.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Trumps Green take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, usually show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Local flat roofs in Trumps Green
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Botleys Mansion, about 2.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Trumps Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Christ Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Landlords with a home close to Virginia Water station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Don’t let outlets block
Questions about the results are welcome. We can talk you through the findings.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
Trumps Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Trumps Green?
Yes, Trumps Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Trumps Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Tell us what you know about the roof and we’ll check whether ELD will work.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Cottages and farmhouses around Trumps Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
What we cannot see
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- Some conductive membranes
- Areas we can’t reach or that cannot be tested
- How wet the insulation is
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Green roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
- Single-ply roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Flat roof membranes
Why get it checked now?
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. ELD shows the actual breach points. In a small place like Trumps Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
