How a roof leak investigation works in Bedfont
Our roof leak investigations cover Bedfont and the wider South East. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. We look inside and out, at flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details. The findings come in a written report with photos. If it’s leaking right now, contain the water and keep it clear of electrics, then phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Common reasons to book are damp patches next to the stack and damp underlay across a wide area, on slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and rooflights and dormers.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers usually exclude wear and tear. That’s as true in Bedfont as anywhere in London. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
The written findings come 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.

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check whether pipes or tanks run near the stain
- Let us know what has already been tried
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Make sure the loft is accessible
If condensation is the cause, we explain it, and suggest how the loft space could be better ventilated. It saves chasing a leak that isn’t there.
Check the loft after heavy rain, with care and a good torch. Watch for water marks, wet underlay and damp wood. Photograph anything new.
Bedfont: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a survey in Bedfont?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is Bedfont in the area you cover?
Yes, Bedfont is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like 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’s disturbed.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
How much is a survey?
Roof leak investigation starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will you definitely find the leak?
Not always, and we will be honest about that. Some leaks hide well, particularly those that need wind-driven rain. Where the source isn’t certain, we list the likely routes in order.
How quickly is the report sent?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Bedfont
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Some roofs have mortar where you’d expect lead. They crack as the roof and wall move, letting rain run behind the joint.
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack. Unused flues with open pots can let rain straight in.
Why act early in Bedfont
A leak near lights or wiring needs attention quickly. Keep away from any fitting that water is reaching. Then the source needs tracing. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Roof leak investigation starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

What a roof leak investigation looks like in Bedfont
About 4.6 miles east lies Strawberry Hill House, a reminder of how long the area around Bedfont has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Bedfont is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Shop and office owners around Treaty Centre may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fairholme Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What affects the price in Bedfont
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you contact us
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- What’s prompted the survey
- When you need the report by
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The property’s address and postcode
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- You let us know where the water shows and when it appears.
- The visit starts indoors, at the stain and in the loft.
- Outside, we look at every likely route in.
- We use moisture detection, and thermal imaging where it is useful.
- We email a report with photographs, the likely entry point and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
