Electronic leak detection in Weyhill, Hampshire
A careful look at the flat roof membrane at your property in Weyhill, with photographs and a written report.
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
Why it’s worth a survey now in Weyhill
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Locating it early helps limit the damage. Older and listed buildings around Weyhill may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Why book us in Weyhill
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)

Electronic leak detection in Weyhill
Our ELD report shows where each breach was found with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. We don’t estimate repair costs, so your roofer prices the work. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. Results come in a written report with photos. If you are worried about leaks that return after repairs and damp inside with no sign on the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial flat roofs, flat roof membranes and liquid-applied waterproofing alike.
Somewhere as small as Weyhill, 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. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply can be punctured by tools or fixings. ELD can locate them.
Inverted and paved roofs
Paving and terraces cover the membrane. Whether it can be tested depends on the build-up.
Your questions about electronic leak detection in Weyhill
Do you cover Weyhill?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Weyhill as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Weyhill is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How do I book a survey in Weyhill?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Which method do you use?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage methods are normally carried out on a wet roof and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. What sits on the membrane affects the method so we check the roof first.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Make sure trades protect the waterproofing
- Don’t leave water getting in
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Limit access to the roof
Questions about the results are welcome. We’ll explain what was found and what it means.
Consider testing a new membrane before it’s covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: 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.

What else we do in Weyhill
Local flat roofs in Weyhill
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.

Common roof problems in Weyhill
On a flat roof, water spreads under the waterproofing. The stain inside can be far from the hole which makes it hard to find by looking.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Holes left by work on the roof
- Leaks showing away from the breach
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
What to check before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey normally takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Older roofs in small places like Weyhill can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
