About our electronic leak detection in Wraysbury
ELD is a way of pinpointing breaches in a flat roof’s waterproofing membrane. It works with an electrical current that passes through the membrane only where there’s a breach. It can find holes too small to spot by eye so your roofer knows exactly where to repair. You get a photo-illustrated written report of each breach found. We survey roof terraces and balconies, flat roof membranes and green roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damage from equipment installers and repairs that haven’t stopped the leak.
In smaller places like Wraysbury, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let lots of water into the room below. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

What else we do in Wraysbury
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes more time on a big roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. A visit to a smaller place like Wraysbury is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- The roof is assessed for suitability first.
- 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 the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets in another room
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
Useful tips for Wraysbury property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Let us know about the membrane and build-up if you know it
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Avoid repeated repairs without finding the cause
- Act on new leaks promptly
Questions about the results are welcome. We’ll explain what was found and what it means.
Consider testing a new membrane before it is covered. Finding breaches is simpler at that stage.
For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Landlords and letting agents in Wraysbury book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the flat roof membrane, useful for planning maintenance.
Honest limits
It’s a careful look at the flat roof membrane, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- The extent of water in the insulation
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Fixing the holes we find

Electronic leak detection around Wraysbury
Frogmore House, about 1.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wraysbury. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Andrew, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. Anyone responsible for a site like Wraysbury Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Common questions in Wraysbury
Do you cover Wraysbury?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Wraysbury as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Wraysbury?
Yes. Wraysbury is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you repair the leak?
No. ELD is testing only. You get the breach locations with photos for your roofer to repair.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How is ELD priced?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. Size, build-up and access all affect the price. To get a quote, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
Do you need electronic leak detection in Wraysbury?
On a flat roof, water spreads under the waterproofing. The leak may show some distance from where water gets in, so tracing it by eye is difficult.
Problems we come across often include:
- Waterproofing to test before it is covered
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
For landlords with property near Sunnymeads station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Before booking anyone

- What the survey will not cover
- How long the report takes to arrive
