Electronic leak detection in Tudeley Hale: what you get
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we’ll say so. We are frequently asked to look into failed seams and laps and new roofs to check before paving or planting, on single-ply roofs, flat roof membranes and roof terraces and balconies.
In a small place like Tudeley Hale, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we look for on each type of roof
EPDM rubber roofs
EPDM rubber roofs often last 30–50 years, but can still be punctured.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes are common on commercial and newer roofs. Seams and penetrations are typical breach points.
Local flat roofs in Tudeley Hale
Old Soar Manor, about 5 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tudeley Hale. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For landlords with property near Tonbridge station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. Anyone responsible for a site like The Schools at Somerhill will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Tudeley Hale questions
Is Tudeley Hale in the area you cover?
Yes, Tudeley Hale is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Tudeley Hale listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No. ELD is testing only. You get the breach locations with photos so your roofer can fix them.
For landlords and managing agents
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 around your tenants.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Tudeley Hale and across Kent can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Useful tips for Tudeley Hale property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Do not keep patching the same spot
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Record dates and spots where water appears
After your roofer repairs the breaches, a retest can confirm them, where the roof still suits the method.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a hamlet or village like Tudeley Hale, a postcode doesn’t 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.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
