Worcester Park Electronic Leak Detection
We carry out electronic leak detection in Worcester Park and the rest of Greater London. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
About our electronic leak detection in Worcester Park
Not every flat roof suits electronic testing. Certain membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. We will 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 avoids arranging a test that can’t give results. We survey flat roof membranes, single-ply roofs and green roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gaps at membrane joints and breaches hidden under paving or planting.
Offices, shops and blocks of flats across London often have large flat roofs with plant, rooflights and walkways. Every penetration and upstand is a place where a membrane can fail. In Worcester Park, roof access is agreed with the building manager or owner beforehand. Rooflights, plant supports and pipe entries are common places for a membrane to fail.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What affects the price in Worcester Park
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Roof area
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof.
What to let us know when you contact us
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it is useful to mention:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where the property is, with the postcode
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Worcester Park questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Worcester Park?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Worcester Park?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
How do I arrange electronic leak detection in Worcester Park?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
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.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, it normally takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is frequently from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it is useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Worcester Park runs like any other.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
How to book
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Pinholes in a coating can let water through. ELD can help locate them on suitable roofs.
Bituminous membranes
Older felt roofs often have seams and patches where breaches occur. We test where the roof suits it.
What this survey can’t tell you
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- The extent of water in the insulation
- Areas we cannot reach or that cannot be tested
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Single-ply roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Green roofs
- Flat roof membranes
- Commercial flat roofs
- Roof terraces and balconies
Leave it or get it looked at?
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. ELD aims to locate the breach first so your roofer knows where to work. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

Electronic leak detection around Worcester Park
About 1.5 miles south lies Fitznells Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Worcester Park has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Worcester Park is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
For landlords with property near Worcester Park station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Worcester Park. Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
