What electronic leak detection looks like in Weeke
There are several hotels within about a mile and a half of Weeke. If you look after one, a leak through a flat roof can put a room out of use. 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, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Matthew, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. Anyone responsible for a site like Weeke Primary School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

Electronic leak detection in Weeke: what you get
ELD is a way of pinpointing breaches in a flat roof’s waterproofing membrane. It uses a small electrical current which can only get through the membrane at a breach. It can find holes too small to spot by eye so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. The results come in a report with photos. If you’ve noticed new roofs to check before paving or planting and damage from equipment installers, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on green roofs, commercial flat roofs and liquid-applied waterproofing alike.
In smaller places like Weeke, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches 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. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
We’ll usually ask about:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Weeke
Do you cover smaller places like Weeke?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you look at commercial flat roofs near Weeke, like hotels?
Yes, commercial buildings, hotels included, are part of the work. Roof access is agreed with the building manager or owner beforehand.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
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, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Weeke. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Weeke?
Seams are a common weak point in flat roof waterproofing. A gap that’s hard to see can let water in for months before it shows.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Damage from equipment installers
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Weeke means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Their insurance cover
What electronic leak detection doesn’t cover
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Sections we can’t safely access
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
- Roofs whose membrane or build-up isn’t suitable
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Commercial flat roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Green roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Flat roof membranes
- Single-ply roofs
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. In a smaller place like Weeke, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- A report with photos shows where each breach is.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
How to book
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Inverted and paved roofs
Inverted roofs have the insulation on top of the waterproofing and that changes how testing works.
EPDM rubber roofs
Some EPDM membranes conduct electricity, which can rule out some methods. We will say if the test will not work.
