Electronic leak detection in Wallington
Electronic leak detection, or ELD, finds holes in flat roof waterproofing membranes. It works with an electrical current which can only get through the membrane at a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. The results come in a report with photos. We are often asked to look into leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings, across commercial flat roofs, single-ply roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Wallington frequently have flat roofs of their own. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. It is worth mentioning them when booking, so the visit can include them, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why act early in Wallington
Testing a new membrane before it’s covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Covered roofs are harder to test. Homes in smaller places like Wallington can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and our case studies.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The size of the roof
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Anything about access we should know
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Flat and commercial roofs around Wallington
Wallington lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. Older buildings may be listed or sit 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.
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Fareham Shopping Centre, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Wallington is about 1 mile east of Fareham, in Hampshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Wallington can all book electronic leak detection, with a written report and photographs every time. Wallington is one of the places in Hampshire where we work for electronic leak detection.

Questions from Wallington
Will you come out to Wallington?
Yes, Wallington is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Wallington is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Wallington?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.

What else we do in Wallington
Roof by roof
Inverted and paved roofs
On inverted roofs, insulation sits above the membrane, which affects testing.
Bituminous membranes
Bituminous roofs often have laps and old repairs that can leak. We test where the roof suits it.
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Parking around Wallington is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Booking a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep foot traffic on flat roofs to a minimum
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Record dates and spots where water appears
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. We will explain what was found and what it means.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Feet and dropped tools are a common cause of holes.
