Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Winchfield Hurst
ELD finds breaches in the membrane, not every cause of water getting in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere else. It won’t show water getting in through brickwork or around frames. Our report keeps that distinction clear. We’ll point you to the likely next step. If you’re worried about damp inside with no sign on the roof and breaches around outlets and penetrations, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Winchfield Hurst 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.
The report records the flat roof membrane as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why act early in Winchfield Hurst
Not every leak is in the membrane. Testing shows whether the membrane is breached so attention can go to the right place. Outbuildings and barns around Winchfield Hurst are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
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 the job before booking.
What you get with us
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Surveys seven days a week
- An independent view of the roof
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. In a small place like Winchfield Hurst, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by finding out what the roof is made of and where it leaks.
- We confirm whether the roof is suitable for electronic testing.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- We test the membrane and find where current is passing through it.
- The breaches are recorded with photos in a report for your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Prices for electronic leak detection in Winchfield Hurst
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
Booking your survey
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat

Winchfield Hurst: your questions answered
Is Winchfield Hurst in the area you cover?
Yes, Winchfield Hurst is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Winchfield Hurst as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Winchfield Hurst is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
Is my roof suitable for ELD?
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 before testing.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
What this survey can’t tell you
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Repairing the breaches (that’s for your roofer)
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
- The extent of water in the insulation
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

Local flat roofs in Winchfield Hurst
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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 plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. 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, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
