Willey Green Electronic Leak Detection
Electronic leak detection in Willey Green from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Waterproofing to test before it’s covered
- Failed seams and laps
How electronic leak detection works in Willey Green
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. If your roof isn’t suitable, we will tell you before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, like drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that can’t give results. If you’ve noticed leaks showing away from the breach and a flat roof leak that can’t be traced, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Willey Green may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
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.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Willey Green
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
How we price electronic leak detection
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
For a price for your roof in Willey Green, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Anything about access we should know
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
How the survey changes by roof type
Inverted and paved roofs
A terrace or paved roof hides the waterproofing. Suitability depends on the layers.
EPDM rubber roofs
EPDM rubber roofs frequently last 30–50 years, but can still be punctured.
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.
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. As for time on site, it usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Around Willey Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- We pick the low-voltage or high-voltage method that suits the roof.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Local flat roofs in Willey Green
Wanborough Manor, about 1.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Willey Green. 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. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you own a rental within reach of Wanborough station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mark, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear. Take a building like Kings College Guildford: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Questions from Willey Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Willey Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Willey Green?
Yes, Willey Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does electronic leak detection work on all membranes?
Not every roof is suitable. Certain membranes are conductive, and some build-ups lack a suitable layer below. If your roof won’t work, we will say so at the start.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
How do you choose the testing method?
The roof decides the method. You’ll know which method we plan to use before we start.
What does electronic leak detection do?
ELD passes a small electrical current across the roof to locate holes in the membrane. The current only gets through where the membrane is breached, which shows us where the hole is.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
