Electronic leak detection in Weston Green: what you get
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. So the stain inside rarely sits under the hole. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself and locates the breach. It’s testing only and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. We then send you the results in a written report. If you are worried about new roofs to check before paving or planting and stains far from any visible defect, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Weston Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which frequently last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Common questions in Weston Green
Will you come out to Weston Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Weston Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Different roofs, different checks
Green and ballasted roofs
Green roofs and ballasted roofs cover the waterproofing. Some methods can work through these layers, depending on the build-up.
Bituminous membranes
ELD is often possible on bituminous membranes, depending on what’s below.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
Why get it checked now?
Patching where you think the leak is often misses it. ELD shows the actual breach points. In a place like Weston Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

Electronic leak detection in Weston Green: local notes
Historic houses such as Hampton Court Palace, about 1.3 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Weston Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Weston Green has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half, and hotels, like offices and blocks of flats, often have flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, finding the cause of a flat roof leak quickly keeps rooms in use.
If you run a business near Bentall Centre, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Weston Green, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes a time that depends on the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Weston Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- 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.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Weston Green?
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The leak may show some distance from where water gets in which makes it hard to find by looking.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- New membranes needing a check before handover
If you look after a building like Esher College, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
