Signs you need electronic leak detection in West Meon
Flat roof membranes can be punctured by foot traffic, dropped tools or debris. Some are too small to see, but still let water through.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaks showing away from the breach
- Patched roofs that still leak
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St John the Evangelist, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What insurance they carry
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in West Meon
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings. It helps trace a leak you already have or to test a new membrane before it is covered. We quote for each roof based on its size and build-up. We can test on weekdays and at weekends, depending on the weather. Just ask about your roof. We are often asked to look into a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and leaks that return after repairs, on liquid-applied waterproofing, green roofs and commercial flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like West Meon are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Electronic leak detection in West Meon: local notes
About 3.4 miles north-west lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around West Meon 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.

Questions from West Meon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in West Meon?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover West Meon?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
What’s in the report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
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. For a quote, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How we price electronic leak detection
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- How big the roof is
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
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- When you need the report by
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.

How the survey works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a hamlet or village like West Meon, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Landlords, agents and block managers in West Meon
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof membrane, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
