Electronic leak detection in Wiggonholt: what you get
A leak in a flat roof frequently shows up a long way from where the water gets in. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. Electronic leak detection tests the membrane itself and locates the breach. We test and report and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. The results then follow in a written report with photos. If you are worried about leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings and leaks through a covered membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Wiggonholt are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

For landlords and managing agents
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.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
FAQs for Wiggonholt
Will you come out to Wiggonholt?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wiggonholt?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Wiggonholt is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Wiggonholt?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Will you repair the leak?
No. ELD is testing only. You get the breach locations with photos for your roofer to repair.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
ELD does not suit every roof. Certain membranes are conductive and some roofs lack the layer the test needs. We’ll tell you if yours is not suitable at the start.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Not every leak is in the membrane. Testing shows whether the membrane is breached, so other causes can be checked. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Wiggonholt, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.

Electronic leak detection around Wiggonholt
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. With Parham House about 1.5 miles south, Wiggonholt sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Wiggonholt Church: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. If you own a rental within reach of Pulborough station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well, depending on the type and build-up.
Green and ballasted roofs
ELD is easier on a new roof before it is covered.
What electronic leak detection does not cover
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- How wet the insulation is
- Carrying out the repair work
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights

Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we set out in the quote. For a village or hamlet like Wiggonholt, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, you tell us about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- 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.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Booking a survey
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
