Electronic leak detection in West End Green
ELD is a way of pinpointing breaches in a flat roof’s waterproofing membrane. It works with an electrical current which can only get through the membrane at a breach. That lets us locate holes that are too small to see so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. The results come in a report with photos. Common reasons to book are gaps at membrane joints and stains far from any visible defect, on liquid-applied waterproofing, roof terraces and balconies and single-ply roofs.
Some older homes in villages like West End Green 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Common questions in West End Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in West End Green?
Yes, West End Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is West End Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What’s in the survey report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
How long will testing take?
The roof’s size and build-up decide how long it takes. We’ll give you an idea when we quote.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes a time that depends on the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. Around West End Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- The breaches are recorded with photographs in a report for your roofer.
Before we arrive
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Find any records of previous roof work
Booking a survey
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know the cost up front. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.

EPDM rubber roofs
EPDM is a long-lasting flat roof membrane, but punctures and seam failures still happen.
Inverted and paved roofs
On inverted roofs, insulation sits above the membrane, which affects testing.
Common roof problems in West End Green
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Fixings, equipment and foot traffic can leave small holes.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damage from equipment installers
- Failed seams and laps
- New membranes needing a check before handover
- Patched roofs that still leak
If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Why get it checked now?
Some breaches are too small to see. Electronic testing can find breaches you cannot see by eye, on suitable membranes. Around West End Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
