Roof Leak Investigation in Colliers Green
Tracing where water is getting into your roof across Colliers Green, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Get in touch for a price.
- Leaks at a dormer or roof window
- Drips in the loft during heavy rain
- Condensation that looks like a leak
How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. In a hamlet or village like Colliers Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You pick a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect inside and out, starting from the stain.
- Where it’s useful and included, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Arrange a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Roof leak investigation in Colliers Green
Moisture readings and thermal imaging are used where they’re useful. Moisture detection confirms where timbers, plaster or insulation are damp. A thermal camera shows patterns of temperature rather than water, so we confirm what it suggests with moisture readings. Moisture detection is included in the Standard Survey, and thermal imaging in Premium. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, on a dry roof with little wind. Common reasons to book are staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall and damp ceilings under a flat roof, on lead flashings, the roof space and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Colliers Green, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
What you get is a clear record of the leaking roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Colliers Green questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Colliers Green?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Colliers Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Colliers Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about 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.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Could my leak actually be condensation?
It is a common question. A leak usually shows in one area and follows rain, while condensation is often widespread and worst on cold days. The report explains which it looks like and what to do.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is there anything I need to do ahead of the visit?
Make sure the loft can be reached. Have any photos of the leak ready, plus details of past repairs. Keep catching drips and keep water away from electrics.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. The most urgent items are made clear.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Colliers Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How we price roof leak investigations
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Height and safe access
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What’s prompted the survey
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Colliers Green roofs and the weather
About 4.9 miles south-west lies Scotney Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Colliers Green has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Take a building like Colliers Green Church of England Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Landlords with a home close to Marden station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Homes near green spaces such as The Gill can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

What a roof leak investigation doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Plumbing leaks that look like roof leaks
- Carrying out the fix
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up

Roof by roof
Slate and tile slopes
‘Nail fatigue’ is a common cause of slipped slates. Even a single gap can let water in.
Parapet and box gutters
We check the linings, joints and outlets where we can see them safely, and look for signs of past overflowing.
