Roof leak investigation in Aaron's Hill, Surrey
Tracing where water is getting into your roof in Aaron's Hill, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Water coming in around a roof light or dormer
- Leaks that appear only in driving rain
- Damp walls below an overflowing gutter
Why get it checked now?
Lingering damp encourages mould on ceilings and walls. Once mould takes hold, it’s harder to clear. Finding the leak comes first. On a bungalow or cottage around Aaron's Hill, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Every price we give includes VAT. Roof leak investigation starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

How a roof leak investigation works in Aaron's Hill
We use moisture detection and thermal imaging where they help. Moisture readings show which materials are wet. Thermal imaging shows temperature differences that can point to wet areas, not water itself, so we confirm what it suggests with moisture readings. Moisture detection is included in the Standard Survey, and thermal imaging in Premium. The best thermal results come after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. Typical surveys look at leaks at a dormer or roof window and water marks that spread in wet weather, on lead flashings, valleys and parapet gutters and flat roof details.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Aaron's Hill can let water in, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It’s worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Have an electrician check any wet fittings
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Catch drips in a bucket and protect the floor
- Clear the loft hatch so we can get in
We email the report to you. It sets out where we believe the water is getting in, how it’s travelling and what needs attention. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Good airflow reduces condensation, and condensation is a common false alarm. Check insulation doesn’t block airflow at the eaves.

What else we do in Aaron's Hill
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Questions from Aaron's Hill
Is Aaron's Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Aaron's Hill is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Aaron's Hill?
Yes, Aaron's Hill is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Can you always find the source?
Not every leak can be pinned down in a single visit. Many leave clear signs, but intermittent leaks that need particular weather can be harder. The report sets out what we found and the most likely routes.
Do you use thermal imaging to find leaks?
Thermal imaging is used where it is useful, and it’s included in our Premium Survey. It picks up temperature patterns rather than water, so anything it suggests is checked with moisture readings.
Why doesn’t the damp patch line up with the hole?
Water rarely drops straight down. It can follow a timber or the underlay a long way first, so the entry point is often well away from the mark. We follow the route back instead of guessing.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Whether rotten timbers meet design loads
- Plumbing leaks that look like roof leaks
- The repair itself (the investigation finds and reports the cause)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check

What a roof leak investigation looks like in Aaron's Hill
The wider area around Aaron's Hill has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 2.5 miles north-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you live in an older home near St Mark's Church and Community Centre, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Do you need a roof leak investigation in Aaron's Hill?
Blocked gutters can look like a roof leak. Hidden gutters behind parapets cause the most trouble, because when they block, water backs up and runs inside.
We are often asked to look at:
- Damp ceilings under a flat roof
- Drips from nail tips in a cold loft
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
- Staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall
Homes near green spaces such as Phillips Memorial Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What the survey will not cover
- What follow-up you get after the report
