How electronic leak detection works in Weston-on-the-Green
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Weston-on-the-Green and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. You get a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed patched roofs that still leak and new roofs to check before paving or planting, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Weston-on-the-Green, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The roof’s overall size
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

What electronic leak detection looks like in Weston-on-the-Green
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
For landlords with property near Islip station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. For businesses in and around places such as Bicester Avenue, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Your questions about electronic leak detection in Weston-on-the-Green
Will you come out to Weston-on-the-Green?
Yes, Weston-on-the-Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you cover Weston-on-the-Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Weston-on-the-Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
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. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
What’s the price of ELD?
Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Let us know about the roof and where it leaks, and ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a quote.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Which method do you use?
The method is chosen to suit the roof. Low-voltage methods are normally carried out on a wet roof, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Weston-on-the-Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
