How electronic leak detection works in Wyck
You get a report showing the location of each breach, with photographs. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair instead of hunting for the leak. Repair costs aren’t part of the report; that’s for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work, where the roof still suits the method. Results come in a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at breaches hidden under paving or planting and damp inside with no sign on the roof, across single-ply roofs, liquid-applied waterproofing and green roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Wyck may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Wyck
Water trapped under a membrane can soak insulation and decking. Locating it early helps limit the damage. For an older or listed building in a place like Wyck, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why book us in Wyck
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
When to book a survey in Wyck
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The leak may show some distance from where water gets in, so tracing it by eye is difficult.
Look out for signs like these:
- Repairs that haven’t stopped the leak
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Breaches around outlets and penetrations
- New membranes needing a check before handover
Landlords with a home close to Alton station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Wyck needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You let us know about the roof and where water is showing.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Test new membranes before covering them
- Don’t let outlets block
- Find the breach before more patching
- Share any drawings of the roof
After your roofer repairs the breaches, a retest can confirm them, where the roof still suits the method.
Ask trades working on the roof to protect the membrane when they work up there. Check the roof after they’ve finished.
Checking the roof from ground level
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Sections we cannot safely access
- How wet the insulation is
- Fixing the holes we find

Wyck questions
Will you come out to Wyck?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Wyck listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What is electronic leak detection?
It uses an electrical current to find breaches in a flat roof membrane. A breach lets the current through so we can pinpoint it.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
Is the repair part of the test?
No, our part is finding the breaches. The report gives your roofer the locations.
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.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Electronic leak detection around Wyck
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Binsted Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
