About our electronic leak detection in Winsor
Some flat roofs can’t be tested electronically. Certain membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. We’ll say if ELD won’t work on your roof at the start. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It saves a wasted visit. If you’ve noticed holes left by work on the roof and breaches hidden under paving or planting, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Winsor take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
If any part of the flat roof membrane couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What affects the price in Winsor
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The roof’s overall size
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
Getting in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one

Why it is worth a survey now in Winsor
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. ELD shows the actual breach points. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Rural addresses near Winsor can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- Testing runs across the roof to locate breaches in the membrane.
- We send a report with photos of each breach so your roofer can repair it.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

What electronic leak detection looks like in Winsor
Winsor lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Landlords with a home close to Ashurst New Forest station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If you look after a building such as Copythorne CofE Infant School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
