Roof Leak Investigation in Oxfordshire

Roof leak investigations across Oxfordshire: what to expect

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. Our leak investigation traces it back, one likely route at a time. Patching the spot above the stain frequently misses the real cause. Tracing the route first means any work can be aimed at the right place. We survey lead flashings, rooflights and dormers and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaks that appear only in driving rain and staining around the chimney inside.

We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer.

1. You tell us where the water appears, when, and what the weather was doing.
2. Inside, we check the stain and the ceiling around it.
3. From the roof space, we trace the water’s route where there’s safe access.
4. Outside, we check flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details from every safe viewpoint.
5. We email a written report showing where the water most likely gets in.
