How electronic leak detection works in Westley
A leak in a flat roof frequently shows up a long way from where the water gets in. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. ELD tests the waterproofing directly, to find where it has been breached. It’s testing only, and the repair is for your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. We then send you the results in a written report. If you are worried about a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Westley, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Limit access to the roof
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photos. Your roofer uses it to carry out repairs.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when fitting equipment. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Westley
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
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.

The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Somewhere as small as Westley, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Electronic leak detection around Westley
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
The streets around a church like Church of St Stephen are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Anyone responsible for a site like Sparsholt Church of England Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
