Anglefield Corner Roof Leak Investigation

How a roof leak investigation works in Anglefield Corner
Roof leaks rarely show up where you’d expect. It can run along a rafter, a batten or the underlay before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling is seldom right under the hole. We follow it back towards where it starts, one likely route at a time. A repair aimed only at the stain can miss the cause entirely. Tracing the route first means any work can be aimed at the right place. We are frequently asked to look into wet patches on loft insulation and a leak that comes and goes with the weather, on valleys and parapet gutters, flat roof details and lead flashings.
Roofs in small places like Anglefield Corner often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Roof by roof
Lead flashings
Some roofs have mortar where you’d expect lead. They crack as the roof and wall move, and water runs down behind them.
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Upstands seal the edge of a flat roof where it meets a wall. If it is too low, cracked or poorly dressed, water gets behind it.
What a roof leak investigation doesn’t cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Putting the leak right
- What’s under the covering or behind the plaster
- A promise to find every leak on a single visit
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

What we are asked to look at in Anglefield Corner
Every flat roof covering has a working life. Felt frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and as it ages it splits, blisters and opens at the laps. Upstands and outlets are common weak points.
Common reasons to book include:
- Water dripping from rafters or underlay
- Damp walls below an overflowing gutter
- Water through the ceiling under a flat roof
- Leaks at a dormer or roof window
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St John the Evanglist, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- When you’ll get the report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
Useful tips for Anglefield Corner property owners
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Protect furniture and flooring under the leak
- Take dated photos of the leak
- Check whether pipes or tanks run near the stain
Where we find more than one possible route, we say which is most likely and why. We say which items need prompt attention.
Check the loft after heavy rain, with care and a good torch. Watch for water marks, wet underlay and damp wood. Take photos of anything that changes.
Common questions in Anglefield Corner
Will you come out to Anglefield Corner?
Yes, Anglefield Corner is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is Anglefield Corner in the area you cover?
Yes, Anglefield Corner is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes an hour or two on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older rural homes like those around Anglefield Corner can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You pick a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- We inspect inside and out, starting from the stain.
- Moisture detection and thermal imaging are used where your package includes them and they help.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaks tend to get worse, not better. Each storm can open a gap a little more. Tracing it now lets you plan the work rather than react to it. In a place like Anglefield Corner, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- PI and public liability insurance
- An independent look at the roof
- A written report with photos

Leaks and storm damage in Anglefield Corner
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near Godstone station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
