Electronic leak detection in Westfield, Surrey
Find out what’s going on with the flat roof membrane before you spend money on it. We carry out electronic leak detection in Westfield, with photographs and a clear written report.
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Leaks showing away from the breach
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
How electronic leak detection works in Westfield
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. 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. Just ask about your roof. If you’ve noticed a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and holes around roof penetrations, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Westfield often have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. It is worth mentioning them as you book, so the visit can include them. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Westfield
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Green roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Commercial flat roofs
- Single-ply roofs
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Don’t let outlets block
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
After your roofer repairs the breaches, a retest can confirm them, where the roof still suits the method.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Standing water puts more pressure on any weak point.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Questions from Westfield
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Westfield?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Westfield?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Westfield as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Westfield?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you repair the leak?
No, our part is finding the breaches. Your roofer uses the report to target the repair.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Flat roofs in Westfield
Clandon Park, about 4.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Westfield. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Landlords with a home close to Woking station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For businesses in and around places such as The Peacocks, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. The streets around a church like St Mark's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
