Electronic leak detection in Whiteley Village
Electronic leak detection works on many flat roof membranes over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It can be used to trace an existing leak or check a new membrane before handover. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays when conditions allow. Just ask about your roof. We survey green roofs, roof terraces and balconies and flat roof membranes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are failed seams and laps and waterproofing to test before it’s covered.
Older buildings in small places like Whiteley Village may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Local flat roofs in Whiteley Village
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. About 1.8 miles east lies The Homewood, a reminder of how long the area around Whiteley Village has been built on. If your house is among 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Notre Dame Senior School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mark, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. If you own a rental within reach of Weybridge station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Common questions in Whiteley Village
Is Whiteley Village within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Whiteley Village is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
How do you choose the testing method?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Low-voltage testing usually needs a wet surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Whiteley Village?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Why act early in Whiteley Village
Some breaches are too small to see. Electronic testing can find breaches you cannot see by eye, on suitable membranes. Around Whiteley Village, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

Advice
Landlord and commercial surveys in Whiteley Village
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Different roofs, different checks
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Small holes in liquid waterproofing may leak. Where the roof suits it, testing can find them.
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs often have seams and patches where breaches occur. Testing depends on the roof.
How we price electronic leak detection
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What made you get in touch
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 drop us an email when you’re ready.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
