Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Wentworth
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Wentworth and the rest of London and the South East. Testing usually takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You get a photo-illustrated written report. If you’re worried about breaches around outlets and penetrations and new membranes needing a check before handover, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Wentworth 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. 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Not every leak is in the membrane. ELD helps rule the membrane in or out, so other causes can be checked. Older and listed buildings around Wentworth may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Questions from Wentworth
Is Wentworth within the area you cover?
Yes, Wentworth is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wentworth?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Wentworth is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. To get a quote, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you use low-voltage or high-voltage testing?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage methods are typically carried out on a wet roof and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
How long does electronic leak detection take?
Testing typically takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too.
What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Older rural homes like those around Wentworth can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.

Advice
What affects the price in Wentworth
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
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.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Areas we cannot reach or that cannot be tested
- The extent of water in the insulation
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

Electronic leak detection around Wentworth
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Botleys Mansion, about 3.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wentworth. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Christ Church CofE Aided Infant School will know that schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you let a flat or house near Longcross station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take an older house close to Christ Church: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.
