Electronic leak detection around Warnford
With Hinton Ampner House about 3.1 miles north-west, Warnford 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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 a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If you live in an older home near Church of Our Lady, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Electronic leak detection in Warnford
Some flat roofs cannot be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. We’ll say if ELD won’t work on your roof before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, like drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that cannot give results. Typical surveys look at leaking laps in the waterproofing and leaks showing away from the breach, across liquid-applied waterproofing, single-ply roofs and flat roof membranes.
Some older homes in villages like Warnford are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Warnford
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Don’t let outlets block
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them, where the roof still suits the method.
Act on leaks quickly. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Warnford
Do you carry out roof surveys in Warnford?
Yes, Warnford is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Will you come out to Warnford?
Yes, Warnford is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Which method do you use?
The roof decides the method. You’ll know which method we plan to use before we start.
What does the report include?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. What sits on the membrane affects the method so we check the roof first.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Somewhere as small as Warnford, access is often the only tricky part.

- We get the roof ready for testing.
- 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.
