ELD is easier on a new roof before it is covered.
Bituminous membranes
Bitumen roofs can often be tested electronically though the layers below matter.
About our electronic leak detection in Weedon
ELD finds breaches in the membrane, not every cause of water getting in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. The test shows breaches in the membrane, not water coming through masonry or around frames. The report makes clear what was and wasn’t tested. You will also know what to check next. Typical surveys look at water coming in under a flat roof and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, across liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and single-ply roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Weedon are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Where we cannot see part of the flat roof membrane, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Flat roofs in Weedon
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. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For businesses in and around places such as Friars Square, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. For an older house near a landmark like Old School Room Chapel, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. For landlords with property near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Weedon is about 3 miles north of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Bookings from Weedon are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. We cover towns and villages across Buckinghamshire, large and small. We also survey roofs in Milton Keynes.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Weedon, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Do not keep patching the same spot
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Don’t leave water getting in
Wet insulation may need attention after a leak. Your roofer can advise on that and other checks can help judge it.
Consider testing a new membrane before it is covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The shape of the roof and its details
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Common questions in Weedon
Do you carry out roof surveys in Weedon?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Weedon is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Weedon listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How is ELD priced?
We quote for each roof individually. Let us know about the roof and where it leaks, and phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a quote.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
What is electronic leak detection?
A sound membrane blocks the test current, but a hole lets it through. That’s how we locate breaches you cannot see.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
It usually takes a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Fixing the holes we find
- Sections we can’t safely access
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
