Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Woolmer
Some flat roofs can’t be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves and some roofs don’t have a suitable layer beneath the membrane. We’ll say if ELD will not work on your roof at the start. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, such as drawings or specifications. It saves a wasted visit. Typical surveys look at damage from equipment installers and gaps at membrane joints, across green roofs, roof terraces and balconies and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Some older homes in villages like Woolmer are 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. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
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. Do not go up yourself.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Cutting open a flat roof to find a leak can cause more damage. Electronic testing finds the hole first, so the repair can be targeted. In a place like Woolmer, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Flat and commercial roofs around Woolmer
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often 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. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Matthew's Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For landlords with property near Liss station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Somewhere as small as Woolmer, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets in another room
Booking a survey
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
What we are asked to look at in Woolmer
When the membrane is buried, holes cannot be seen at all. Electronic methods can help on some of these roofs, depending on the build-up.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
Anyone responsible for a site like St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School will know that a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

FAQs for Woolmer
Is Woolmer in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Woolmer is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Woolmer?
Yes, Woolmer is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
Sometimes. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane, and some may need lifting. We talk this through first.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found.
Can every flat roof be tested?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Share any details you have and we will check whether ELD will work.
