Electronic leak detection in Weston Turville: what you get
Roofs covered with paving, ballast or planting need more thought. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through before we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful, as they show what lies beneath the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we will say so. If you’re worried about failed seams and laps and water coming in under a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Flat roofs in smaller places like Weston Turville can be more exposed, particularly where nothing shelters them, so wind catches loose edges and trims. Sun on a flat roof also ages felt and bitumen. Splits, blisters and lifting edges are what to look out for, along with water that sits after rain. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Homes around Weston Turville often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- The method depends on the membrane and what sits above and below it.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.

Local flat roofs in Weston Turville
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
Take a building like Weston Turville Church of England School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. For businesses in and around places like Friars Square, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.

Leave it or get it looked at?
ELD before paving, ballast or planting goes on is simpler. Covered roofs are harder to test. With lower homes, common in places like Weston Turville, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Weston Turville?
New membranes can have defects from installation. ELD on a new roof can show holes before they cause leaks.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
If you let a flat or house near Stoke Mandeville station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Questions from Weston Turville
How do I find out if my home in Weston Turville is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Weston Turville?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Weston Turville is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
How do I book a survey in Weston Turville?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
What does electronic leak detection do?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. A breach lets the current through so we can pinpoint it.
Will you repair the leak?
No. ELD is testing only. The report shows where each breach is so your roofer can fix them.

Bituminous membranes
