Wrecclesham Electronic Leak Detection
Electronic leak detection across Wrecclesham, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Leaks that return after repairs
- Leaking laps in the waterproofing
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Check trades protect the waterproofing
- Get leaks traced quickly
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
If water has been getting in, insulation under the membrane may be wet. That’s something to discuss with your roofer and other checks can help judge it.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Electronic leak detection in Wrecclesham: what you get
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Wrecclesham and across London and the South East. A visit usually takes as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. You get a written report with photos. We survey commercial flat roofs, green roofs and single-ply roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are new roofs to check before paving or planting and gaps at membrane joints.
In a smaller place like Wrecclesham, some flat roofs sit in the open, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Felt and bitumen also age in strong sun. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away, along with water that sits after rain. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaks left running can wet the insulation and deck. Finding the breach sooner limits that. Around Wrecclesham, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like 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. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Wrecclesham, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We ask about the roof, its age, its membrane and where leaks appear inside.
- The roof is assessed to see if electronic testing will work on it.
- 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 we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Common questions in Wrecclesham
Is Wrecclesham within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Wrecclesham listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What does the report include?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
How does ELD work?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. A breach lets the current through so we can pinpoint it.
What electronic leak detection looks like in Wrecclesham
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. The wider area around Wrecclesham has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 1.6 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Take a building like St Peter's CofE Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. Landlords with a home close to Farnham station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Wrecclesham is about 1 mile south-west of Farnham, in Surrey. Surveys in Wrecclesham work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Across Surrey, we cover Wrecclesham and the places around it. There’s also a page for Guildford.

Do you need electronic leak detection in Wrecclesham?
If a flat roof keeps leaking after patching, the hole may be elsewhere. ELD can locate the breach more precisely.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Stains far from any visible defect
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
- Leaks through a covered membrane
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Peter's Church, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
Before booking anyone
