About our electronic leak detection in West Green
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. The layers on top can limit the methods we can use, and some may need lifting. We’ll discuss it with you when we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful, as they show what lies beneath the surface. We’ll tell you if the roof cannot be tested. If you are worried about repairs that haven’t stopped the leak and damp inside with no sign on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like West Green, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What we cannot see
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Areas we cannot reach or that cannot be tested
- Carrying out the repair work
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

What affects the cost of electronic leak detection
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Your questions about electronic leak detection in West Green
Will you come out to West Green?
Yes, West Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is West Green in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in West Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Send us details of the roof. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a quote.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
On some roofs, yes. What sits on the membrane affects the method so we check the roof first.

How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Rural addresses near West Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Flat roofs in West Green
About 4.6 miles north-west lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around West Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. Take a building like Greenfields Junior School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If you run a business near Hart Shopping Centre, a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks.
West Green is about 4 miles north-west of Fleet, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in West Green, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. West Green is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. We also survey roofs in Reading.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. Testing shows where the membrane is actually breached. Outbuildings and barns around West Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
