Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Some conductive membranes
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Carrying out the repair work

What this survey covers
- Flat roof membranes
- Green roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
- Commercial flat roofs
- Single-ply roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
Electronic leak detection in Wexham Street
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful because they show what’s under the surface. We will tell you if the roof cannot be tested. Common reasons to book are failed seams and laps and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak, across commercial flat roofs, flat roof membranes and liquid-applied waterproofing.
In a small place like Wexham Street, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply membranes
Many offices and units have single-ply roofs. Laps and fixings are where holes often appear.
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs often have seams and patches that can leak. We test where the roof suits it.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Wexham Street
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A report showing the breach points gives your roofer a clear target. For an older or listed building in a place like Wexham Street, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why book with us

Wexham Street questions
Is Wexham Street in the area you cover?
Yes, Wexham Street is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wexham Street?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How do you choose the testing method?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage testing typically needs a wet surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What happens after the survey?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the flat roof membrane as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit typically takes a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, which we set out in the quote. Older roofs in small places like Wexham Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
Electronic leak detection in Wexham Street: local notes
With Windsor Castle about 4.3 miles south, Wexham Street sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, 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, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you let a flat or house near Slough station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take an older house close to St Andrew's Church Centre: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you look after a building like Khalsa Secondary Academy, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
