Electronic leak detection in Wooburn Green
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Drawings or details of the roof’s layers are useful because they show what’s under the surface. If testing isn’t possible, we will say so. Common reasons to book are leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause and failed seams and laps, across commercial flat roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and roof terraces and balconies.
In smaller places like Wooburn Green, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let a good many water into the room below. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof membrane, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
How the survey changes by roof type
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer but holes and thin areas can occur. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply can be punctured by tools or fixings. ELD can locate them.
What we’re asked to look at in Wooburn Green
A breach can be left during installation. Testing before the roof is covered or handed over helps find them.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Holes around roof penetrations
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Leaks through a flat roof with no obvious cause
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Eden, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether VAT is added on top
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
What we cannot see
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- The extent of water in the insulation
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.

Local flat roofs in Wooburn Green
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. With Cliveden about 2.6 miles south, Wooburn Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Wooburn Green Primary School: a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. Take an older house close to St Mary's Pastoral Centre: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

What else we do in Wooburn Green
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too.

Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.

Questions from Wooburn Green
How do I find out if my home in Wooburn Green is listed?
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.
Will you come out to Wooburn Green?
Yes, Wooburn Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
On some roofs, yes. What sits on the membrane affects the method so we look at the roof first.
Will you repair the leak?
No. ELD is testing only. You get the breach locations with photos so your roofer can fix them.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
