Roof Leak Investigation in Coxhill Green
Find out what’s going on with the leaking roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out roof leak investigations in Coxhill Green.
- Water coming in around a roof light or dormer
- Water dripping from rafters or underlay
- Damp patches next to the stack
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around Coxhill Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You pick a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- 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 we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.

Roof leak investigation in Coxhill Green
Some leaks only appear in certain weather. Driving rain from one direction, melting snow or a gutter that overflows in a downpour can all set it off. Telling us when it happens helps a lot and so do photos. We look for the clues it leaves behind, such as tide marks, stained timbers and damp underlay. Moisture readings show where materials are still wet. If you’ve noticed damp walls below an overflowing gutter and condensation that looks like a leak, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Coxhill Green face open ground, 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 record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Coxhill Green
Water damage grows the longer it’s left. Wet timbers start to decay, plaster softens and insulation stops working. Finding the source early keeps the damage down. Outbuildings and barns around Coxhill Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why us?
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Plain-English reports with photos
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- More than 5,000 surveys completed

Coxhill Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Coxhill Green?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is my home in Coxhill Green listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will you fix the leak as part of this?
A leak investigation finds and reports the likely source. The repair is not part of it. You get a report with photos showing where the water is getting in and what needs attention.
Coxhill Green roofs and the weather
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Botleys Mansion, about 3.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Coxhill Green. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Lawrence CofE (Aided) Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Homes near green spaces like Milford Green and Coxhill Green can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

Do you need a roof leak investigation in Coxhill Green?
Valleys carry a lot of water. Worn lead, cracked linings or a build-up of leaves and moss can push water under the slates or tiles. Leaks from valleys often show up some distance away inside.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Staining around the chimney inside
- Damp walls below an overflowing gutter
- Damp underlay across a wide area
- Water that shows only in certain storms
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Peacocks, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- When you will get the report
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:

Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
