Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Upper Wield
A leak in a flat roof frequently shows up a long way from where the water gets in. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself and locates the breach. It is testing only and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. The results then follow in a written report with photos. We survey liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and commercial flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damage from equipment installers and leaks that return after repairs.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Wield, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Leave it or get it looked at?
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Covered roofs are harder to test. In a small place like Upper Wield, 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 safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Flat and commercial roofs around Upper Wield
With Hall Place about 2.2 miles east, Upper Wield sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St James, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

FAQs for Upper Wield
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Upper Wield?
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 Upper Wield in the area you cover?
Yes, Upper Wield is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Let us know what you know about the roof and we’ll confirm suitability.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
The roof decides the method. We will explain why when we quote.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. On timing, most surveys take longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Rural addresses near Upper Wield can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
