About our roof leak investigation in Goldsworth Park
Most roof leaks start at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. Flashings at chimneys and walls, valleys, gutters, parapets and flat roof upstands and outlets are the usual suspects. We check each likely route and we follow where the evidence leads. Every chimney, dormer and roof light adds more joints to check. Each one is checked from wherever it’s safe to see it. If you’re worried about damp walls below an overflowing gutter and drips in the loft during heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Houses in smaller places like Goldsworth Park can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Let us know when it happens when you get in touch. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
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.
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Parking around Goldsworth Park is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- You let us know where the water shows and when it appears.
- The visit starts indoors, at the stain and in the loft.
- We check the likely entry points outside, such as flashings, valleys, chimneys and gutters.
- We use moisture detection, and thermal imaging where it is useful.
- You receive a written report with photos showing the likely source and what needs attention.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

What happens if roof problems are left?
If a leak has been ‘fixed’ before and has come back, the cause was probably missed. We look past the obvious spot and check each likely route. That is often what breaks the cycle. With lower homes, common in places like Goldsworth Park, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Write down the wind direction and rain when it leaks
- Put a bucket under the drip and move valuables
- Mention any plumbing above the damp area
- Let us know about any past repairs to the roof
If there are several possible sources, we list them in order of likelihood. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant.
After a downpour, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for water marks, wet underlay and damp wood. Take photos of anything that changes.
What else we do in Goldsworth Park
Wind, rain and roofs in Goldsworth Park
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. The wider area around Goldsworth Park has a long history of building, with Botleys Mansion about 4.4 miles north-east. 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.
Take a building like Goldsworth Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Homes near green spaces such as Milford Green and Coxhill Green can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Goldsworth Park: your questions answered
Is Goldsworth Park within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Goldsworth Park?
Yes, Goldsworth Park is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Goldsworth Park as anywhere else.
Why is not the leak directly above the stain?
Water rarely drops straight down. It runs along rafters, battens or underlay before it drips, so the entry point is frequently well away from the mark. We follow the route back instead of guessing.
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. The report shows where the water gets in and what should be done, which whoever carries out the work can follow.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
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 every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
