Electronic leak detection around Walton Court
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you run a business near Friars Square, a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks. If you live in an older home near Church of the Good Shepherd, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Walton Court
A leak in a flat roof frequently shows up a long way from where the water gets in. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. ELD tests the waterproofing directly and locates the breach. We test and report, and the repair is for your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. The results then follow in a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at leaking laps in the waterproofing and damp inside with no sign on the roof, across roof terraces and balconies, green roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Around a smaller place like Walton Court, flat roofs normally cover extensions, garages and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it, from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber and GRP. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Cutting open a flat roof to find a leak can cause more damage. ELD aims to locate the breach first so your roofer knows where to work. Blocked gutters on homes around Walton Court overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.

For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof membrane, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Find the breach before more patching
- Limit access to the roof
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
- Get leaks traced quickly
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. We’ll explain what was found and what it means.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.
The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. Parking around Walton Court is typically 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.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Advice
Common roof problems in Walton Court
On a flat roof, water spreads under the waterproofing. The leak may show some distance from where water gets in which makes it hard to find by looking.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Leaks through a covered membrane
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Gaps at membrane joints
If you look after a building like Ashmead Combined School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

FAQs for Walton Court
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Walton Court?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Walton Court?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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 climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Tell us about the roof and where it leaks. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a quote.
Different roofs, different checks
Inverted and paved roofs

Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs frequently have seams and patches where breaches occur. Testing depends on the roof.
