Roof leak investigation in Lambs Green
We investigate roof leaks in Lambs Green and across London and South East England. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. We look inside and out, at flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details. The findings come in a written report with photos. If it’s leaking right now, contain the water and keep it clear of electrics, then phone 07833 053749 or email us to arrange a visit. We survey rooflights and dormers, flat roof details and lead flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are water dripping from rafters or underlay and drips from nail tips in a cold loft.
Roofs in small places like Lambs Green frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Why get it checked now?
Leaks tend to get worse, not better. Each storm can open a gap a little more. Tracing it now lets you plan the work rather than react to it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lambs Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. For a village or hamlet like Lambs Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- You pick a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- We inspect inside and out, starting from the stain.
- Moisture detection and thermal imaging are used where your package includes them and they help.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Lambs Green questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Lambs Green?
Yes, Lambs Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Lambs Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lambs Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you fix the leak as part of this?
Our job here is to trace the leak and explain it, not to carry out the repair. The report gives any roofer a clear brief.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Is it a leak or condensation?
Many apparent leaks turn out to be condensation. A leak usually shows in one area and follows rain, while condensation is often widespread and worst on cold days. We tell you which it is most likely to be.
What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Leaks that only appear in weather we cannot recreate
- The repair itself (the investigation finds and reports the cause)
- Whether rotten timbers meet design loads
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Lead flashings
- Flat roof details
- Rooflights and dormers
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- The roof space
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Put a bucket under the drip and move valuables
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Have an electrician check any wet fittings
- Do not climb onto the roof to look
If the leak turns out to be condensation, the report says so, with recommendations on ventilation. It saves chasing a leak that is not there.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Good airflow reduces condensation, and condensation is a common false alarm. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
Lambs Green roofs and the weather
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you own a rental within reach of Faygate station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary Magdalene church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near County Mall, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
