How we price roof leak investigations
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Basic, Standard or Premium
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- What made you get in touch
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Roof leak investigation in George Green: what you get
Moisture readings and thermal imaging are used where they’re useful. Moisture readings show which materials are wet. 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. The best thermal results come after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. Common reasons to book are staining around the chimney inside and condensation that looks like a leak, across the roof space, valleys and parapet gutters and slate and tile slopes.
Somewhere as small as George 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. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer.
What a roof leak investigation looks like in George Green
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses such as Windsor Castle, about 3.3 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around George Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wexham Court Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For landlords with property near Langley station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Why get it checked now?
Damp in a ceiling or loft can lead to mould. It is unpleasant, and it’s harder to deal with once established. Stopping the water is the first step. In a small place like George Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

FAQs for George Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in George Green?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like George Green?
Yes, George Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will you fix the leak as part of this?
Our job here is to trace the leak and explain it, and the repair is separate. With the report, a roofer knows exactly where to look.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is thermal imaging part of a leak investigation?
It can, when the conditions are right. The best results come after a sunny day, on a dry roof with little wind. Damp areas can hold heat differently from dry ones. We always check what it shows with moisture readings.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
What should I do before you arrive?
Check the loft can be reached. Gather any photos and notes about when it leaks, plus details of past repairs. Keep catching drips and keep water away from electrics.
What a roof leak investigation doesn’t cover
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Whether rotten timbers meet design loads
- Leaks from plumbing, tanks or pipework rather than the roof
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the leaking roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. Somewhere like George Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
