Electronic leak detection in Upper Froyle: what you get
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Upper Froyle and the rest of London and South East England. Testing typically takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. The results come in a written report with photos. We survey flat roof membranes, roof terraces and balconies and green roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking laps in the waterproofing and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced.
Older buildings in small places like Upper Froyle may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. 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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
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.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Upper Froyle
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Upper Froyle
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eggar's School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary of the Assumption, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. Landlords with a home close to Bentley (Hampshire) station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey normally takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Around Upper Froyle, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- The test method is chosen to suit the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
Before we arrive

What else we do in Upper Froyle
Upper Froyle: your questions answered
Is Upper Froyle within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Upper Froyle is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Limit access to the roof
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Share any drawings of the roof
- Do not let outlets block
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photographs. Pass it to your roofer to repair the breach points.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.
Honest limits
A survey is a proper look at the flat roof membrane, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- Some conductive membranes
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- Carrying out the repair work

Why it is worth a survey now in Upper Froyle
A visual inspection can miss tiny holes. Electronic testing can find breaches you cannot see by eye where the roof suits it. In a small place like Upper Froyle, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well but it depends on the product and layers.
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous felt and modified bitumen membranes are common. Whether ELD suits them depends on the build-up.
