Electronic leak detection in Wexham Court
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. ELD tests the waterproofing directly and locates the breach. We test and report, and the repair is for your roofer. On a suitable roof, it takes the guesswork out of finding the hole. The results then follow in a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed leaks showing away from the breach and leaks through a covered membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Wexham Court take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
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.

How we price electronic leak detection
To price your survey, we check:
- The roof’s overall size
- Height and safe access
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. In a hamlet or village like Wexham Court, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Flat roofs in Wexham Court
The wider area around Wexham Court has a long history of building, with Windsor Castle about 3.4 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Take a building like Wexham School: a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For landlords with property near Slough station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

Different roofs, different checks
Inverted and paved roofs
On inverted roofs, insulation sits above the membrane, which affects testing.
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Pinholes in a coating can let water through. Where the roof suits it, testing can find them.

How quickly is the report sent?

Does the report include photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
What is electronic leak detection?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Don’t let outlets block
- Consider ELD before paving or planting goes on
- Ask contractors to protect the membrane
Once repairs are made, the roof can be tested again if you want to check them if the build-up allows.
Keep people off the flat roof unless they need to be there. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
