Upper Enham Electronic Leak Detection
Electronic leak detection across Upper Enham, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Damage from equipment installers
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Cottages and farmhouses around Upper Enham often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Electronic leak detection in Upper Enham
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. We’ll say if ELD will not work on your roof before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, such as drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that cannot give results. If you’ve noticed a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and breaches hidden under paving or planting, we can find out what’s behind it, on liquid-applied waterproofing, flat roof membranes and single-ply roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Enham, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Upper Enham
Is Upper Enham within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Upper Enham listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you repair the leak?
No. ELD is testing only. The report shows where each breach is for your roofer to repair.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
What is electronic leak detection?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, so wherever there is a hole, it passes through. That’s how we locate breaches you can’t see.

Electronic leak detection in Upper Enham: local notes
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. 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. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. Take an older house close to Saint George: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Upper Enham?
If a flat roof keeps leaking after patching, the hole may be elsewhere. Electronic testing helps pinpoint it.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Failed seams and laps
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Leaks that return after repairs
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Questions to ask before booking

- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you get a written report with photos

Prices for electronic leak detection in Upper Enham
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- How big the roof is
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Useful tips for Upper Enham property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Don’t keep patching the same spot
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Share any drawings of the roof
Where the evidence points to walls, copings or rooflights, we will note it, so other causes can be checked.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when fitting equipment. Have the roof looked at after other work.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Upper Enham
Cutting open a flat roof to find a leak can cause more damage. ELD aims to locate the breach first, so the repair can be targeted. In a small place like Upper Enham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
