Electronic leak detection in Tylers Green
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found, with photos. Your roofer can then repair those points rather than guessing. Repair costs are not part of the report, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed leaks that return after repairs and breaches around outlets and penetrations, we can find out what’s behind it.
Around Tylers Green, 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. It’s worth mentioning them as you book, so the visit can include them. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Different roofs, different checks
Green and ballasted roofs
Green roofs and ballasted roofs cover the waterproofing. Some methods can work through these layers, depending on the build-up.
Bituminous membranes
Many flat roofs use bitumen-based membranes. Whether ELD suits them depends on the build-up.
Common questions in Tylers Green
Do you cover Tylers Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Tylers Green as anywhere else.
Is Tylers Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
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.
What is electronic leak detection?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. A visit to a smaller place like Tylers Green is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Advice
Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. ELD aims to locate the breach first so your roofer knows where to work. In a smaller place like Tylers Green, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Signs you need electronic leak detection in Tylers Green
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. A gap that is hard to see can let water in for months before it shows.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Eden, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Tylers Green
Hughenden Manor, about 2.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tylers Green. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you look after a building such as Manor Farm Community Infant School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Margaret, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
