How we price electronic leak detection
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- When you need the report by
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
How electronic leak detection works in Tyler's Green
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’ll discuss it with you when we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful because they show what’s under the surface. We’ll tell you if the roof can’t be tested. If you are worried about failed seams and laps and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on green roofs, commercial flat roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing alike.
Some older homes in villages like Tyler's Green are 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 cannot see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Questions from Tyler's Green
How do I find out if my home in Tyler's Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Tyler's Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
What is electronic leak detection?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, but a hole lets it through. That’s how we locate breaches you can’t see.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Share any details you have and we will confirm suitability.
How long will testing take?
It depends on the size of the roof and its build-up. We’ll give you an idea when we quote.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Limit access to the roof
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
Questions about the results are welcome. We’ll explain what was found and what it means.
Check contractors protect the waterproofing when fitting equipment. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
When to book a survey in Tyler's Green
Repeated leaks after repairs suggest the real breach hasn’t been found. ELD can locate the breach more precisely.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Stains far from any visible defect
If you let a flat or house near Caterham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Why get it checked now?
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. For an older or listed building in a place like Tyler's Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Tyler's Green

- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)

What electronic leak detection looks like in Tyler's Green
Titsey Place, about 3.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tyler's Green. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you look after a building like Godstone Village School, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a small place like Tyler's Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
