Electronic leak detection in Weston, Hampshire
Not sure what state the flat roof membrane is in? We carry out electronic leak detection in Weston and across Hampshire.
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Failed seams and laps
- Stains far from any visible defect
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Keep a note of leaks after rain
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. Your roofer can advise on that, and moisture readings can help.
Keep outlets and gutters on flat roofs clear. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.
Electronic leak detection in Weston: what you get
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It helps trace a leak you already have 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 when conditions allow. Tell us about your roof to find out more. If you’ve noticed water coming in under a flat roof and breaches around outlets and penetrations, we can find out what’s behind it, on roof terraces and balconies, liquid-applied waterproofing and green roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Weston are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Weston?
New membranes can have defects from installation. ELD on a new roof can show holes before they cause leaks.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Holes left by work on the roof
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Buriton Primary School, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What they will not be able to tell you
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. Around Weston, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Landlords and letting agents in Weston book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof membrane, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
What affects the price in Weston
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The property’s address and postcode
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.

Questions from Weston
Do you cover Weston?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Weston is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Weston is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does ELD work under paving or planting?
On some roofs, yes. What sits on the membrane affects the method, so we check the build-up first.
How do I book a survey in Weston?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No. ELD is testing only. The report shows where each breach is for your roofer to repair.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
