Roof Leak Investigation in Feltham
Roof leak investigations in Feltham from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and the South East.
- A leak that comes and goes with the weather
- Damp underlay across a wide area
- Damp on a chimney breast
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
About our roof leak investigation in Feltham
Older homes have more places for water to get in. Worn lead, tired valley linings and blocked parapet outlets are frequent causes. If your home has a butterfly roof, the central valley gutter is a common culprit in heavy rain. Parapet walls and their gutters are looked at from wherever it’s safe. Our report shows what we found, with photos. We survey rooflights and dormers, chimney stacks and the roof space, and common reasons people get in touch are drips in the loft during heavy rain and staining around the chimney inside.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. We check what we are given access to in Feltham, inside and out. It’s useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is frequently from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- 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 is useful and included, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- The report explains the likely entry point and what needs attention.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about parking near the property

Leaks and storm damage in Feltham
About 3.5 miles east lies Strawberry Hill House, a reminder of how long the area around Feltham has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Take a building like St Lawrence Catholic Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Christ Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Feltham station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Honest limits
It’s a careful look at the leaking roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Leaks that only appear in weather we can’t recreate
- Leaks from plumbing, tanks or pipework rather than the roof
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)

Questions from Feltham
Do you carry out roof surveys in Feltham?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Feltham as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Feltham?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate and tile slopes
Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles let rain onto the underlay. Ageing felt eventually lets water through.
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Each flat roof relies on its outlets to drain. When one blocks, water ponds and finds any weak spot. We check outlets and the covering around them.
What affects the cost of roof leak investigations
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Height and safe access
- How big the roof is
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
