About our electronic leak detection in Up Nately
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing but not every way water gets in. Water coming through walls, copings, rooflights or plumbing will not show on the test. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so. It won’t show water getting in through brickwork or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. You’ll also know what to check next. If you’ve noticed patched roofs that still leak and failed seams and laps, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Up Nately, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Up Nately?
Repeated leaks after repairs suggest the real breach hasn’t been found. ELD can locate the breach more precisely.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Failed seams and laps
- Waterproofing to test before it is covered
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Holes left by work on the roof
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Stephen, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Limit access to the roof
- Tell us about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
File the report with your roof paperwork. It shows the condition of the membrane on that date.
Do not leave a flat roof leak running. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
Local flat roofs in Up Nately
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Anyone responsible for a site like Robert May's School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you own a rental within reach of Hook station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Single-ply roofs
- Flat roof membranes

Checking the roof from ground level
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. Rural addresses near Up Nately can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.

- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
