About our electronic leak detection in Warnborough Green
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It can be used to trace an existing leak or check a new membrane before handover. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends when conditions allow. Let us know about your roof to find out more. We survey commercial flat roofs, roof terraces and balconies and flat roof membranes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are holes around roof penetrations and gaps at membrane joints.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Warnborough Green take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Warnborough Green
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. In a hamlet or village like Warnborough Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Warnborough Green: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Warnborough Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Warnborough Green?
Yes, Warnborough Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How is ELD priced?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. For a quote, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How long will testing take?
It depends on the size of the roof and its build-up. We’ll give you an idea when we quote.
How do you choose the testing method?
We choose the method that suits the roof. We will explain why when we quote.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Local flat roofs in Warnborough Green
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Robert May's School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For landlords with property near Hook station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Useful tips for Warnborough Green property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Let us know about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photos. Your roofer uses it to carry out repairs.
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is worth considering. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Fixing the holes we find
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up is not suitable
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
