About our roof leak investigation in Goose Green
We investigate roof leaks in Goose Green and across London and the South East. We visit seven days a week. The investigation covers inside and out, from the stain to the likely entry points. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations. If water is coming in now, catch it in a bucket and keep it away from lights and sockets, then call 07833 053749 or email us. If you’ve noticed ceiling stains that grow after rain and damp on a chimney breast, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on lead flashings, slate and tile slopes and the roof space alike.
Roofs in small places like Goose Green often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Where we cannot see part of the leaking roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Wherever a roof meets a wall or stack, a flashing keeps rain out. Lifted, split or slipped lead is a common cause.
Valleys
Leaves and moss build up in valleys and hold water back. During a downpour, water can back up under the coverings.

How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Goose Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We help you choose the package that suits the leak.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The investigation works from the stain back to the roof.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Let us know about parking near the property

Advice
What we’re asked to look at in Goose Green
Chimneys can let water in by several routes. Water can enter through crumbling mortar, cracked flaunching, worn flashings or uncapped pots. The damp may appear on a chimney breast, a ceiling or in the loft.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Drips from nail tips in a cold loft
- Staining around the chimney inside
- Drips in the loft during heavy rain
- Water coming in around a roof light or dormer
Take a building like Hadlow Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Questions to ask before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What they will not be able to tell you
Goose Green roofs and the weather
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Historic houses like Old Soar Manor, about 2.5 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Goose Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Yalding station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. The streets around a church such as Church of St Dunstan are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
