Wingham Green Electronic Leak Detection
Electronic leak detection to pinpoint holes in flat roof membranes for Wingham Green, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Waterproofing to test before it is covered
- Leaks through a covered membrane
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Note where leaks show inside and when
- Keep outlets clear of debris
- Get leaks traced quickly

About our electronic leak detection in Wingham Green
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Wingham Green and the rest of London and the South East. Testing typically takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. The results come in a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at punctures from foot traffic or tools and waterproofing to test before it’s covered, across single-ply roofs, flat roof membranes and roof terraces and balconies.
In a village or hamlet like Wingham Green, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Common questions in Wingham Green
Do you cover smaller places like Wingham Green?
Yes, Wingham Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Wingham Green?
Yes, Wingham Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Wingham Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
Sometimes. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane and parts may need to be lifted. We talk this through first.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can every flat roof be tested?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Share any details you have and we will check whether ELD will work.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Flat and commercial roofs around Wingham Green
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. The wider area around Wingham Green has a long history of building, with Goodnestone Park about 2.1 miles south-east. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you look after a building like Wingham Primary School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. Landlords with a home close to Adisham station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

What else we do in Wingham Green
Roof by roof
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs often have seams and patches where breaches occur. We test where the roof suits it.
Single-ply membranes
Many offices and units have single-ply roofs. Seams and penetrations are typical breach points.
Why get it checked now?
Repeated call-outs for the same leak add up. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. For an older or listed building in a place like Wingham Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
All our prices include 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.
Why us?
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance

What affects the price in Wingham Green

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages

- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take 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 Wingham Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
