Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Withermarsh Green
Some flat roofs can’t be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves and some roofs do not have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. We’ll say if ELD won’t work on your roof before any testing. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, such as drawings or specifications. It saves a wasted visit. We survey single-ply roofs, flat roof membranes and green roofs, and people most often book us about failed seams and laps and stains far from any visible defect.
Somewhere as small as Withermarsh Green, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take a time that depends on the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. For a village or hamlet like Withermarsh Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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.
- The membrane is tested and breaches are found.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

FAQs for Withermarsh Green
Will you come out to Withermarsh Green?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is Withermarsh Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Withermarsh Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
When does the report arrive?

What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Does ELD include fixing the breach?
No. We test the membrane and report. The report shows where each breach is so your roofer can fix them.
Can every flat roof be tested?
It depends on the membrane and the build-up. Let us know what you know about the roof and we will check whether ELD will work.
What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply can be punctured by tools or fixings. Testing helps find them.
Inverted and paved roofs
On inverted roofs, insulation sits above the membrane and that changes how testing works.

Why act early in Withermarsh Green
Repairs in the wrong place leave the leak in place. ELD shows the actual breach points. Outbuildings and barns around Withermarsh Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
