Electronic leak detection in Well End: what you get
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. 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, depending on the weather. Let us know about your roof to find out more. We survey green roofs, single-ply roofs and roof terraces and balconies, and common reasons people get in touch are punctures from foot traffic or tools and damp inside with no sign on the roof.
Somewhere as small as Well End, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

What affects the price in Well End
To price your survey, we look at:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The size of the roof
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
What to let us know when you contact us
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Common roof problems in Well End
When the membrane is buried, holes cannot be seen at all. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs, depending on the build-up.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Water coming in under a flat roof
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hertswood Academy, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
What to check before booking
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether the price includes VAT
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Why get it checked now?
Some flat roof leaks come from walls or details. Testing shows whether the membrane is breached so attention can go to the right place. In a place like Well End, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. For a village or hamlet like Well End, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- 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.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
