About our electronic leak detection in Two Mile Ash
A leak in a flat roof often shows up a long way from where the water gets in. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself, to find where it has been breached. It is testing only, and the repair is for your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. We then send you the results in a written report. We’re frequently asked to look into holes left by work on the roof and holes around roof penetrations, across commercial flat roofs, green roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Around Two Mile Ash, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. If you want them looked at too, mention them as you book, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Electronic leak detection around Two Mile Ash
Two Mile Ash is part of Milton Keynes, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Many of those flat roofs have been re-covered over the years, and some may still have older felt. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Cross, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. Take a building like Two Mile Ash School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you run a business near Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Do not keep patching the same spot
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Limit access to the roof
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. We will explain what was found and what it means.
Consider testing a new membrane before it’s covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
FAQs for Two Mile Ash
My home in Two Mile Ash has a flat-roofed garage or porch. Is it worth having that looked at?
Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it when you book. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check before they’re disturbed.
Will you come out to Two Mile Ash?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What does the report include?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. The most urgent items are made clear.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. In a smaller place like Two Mile Ash, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Why get it checked now?
Cutting open a flat roof to find a leak can cause more damage. ELD aims to locate the breach first so your roofer knows where to work. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Two Mile Ash, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
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. Do not go up yourself.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Height and safe access
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- Where the property is, with the postcode
