Roof leak investigation in Littlefield Green: what you get
Most roof leaks start at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. Common entry points include chimney and wall flashings, valleys, parapet and box gutters, and the upstands and outlets on flat roofs. We check each likely route and we follow where the evidence leads. Chimneys, dormers and roof lights each add joints of their own. Each one is checked from wherever it’s safe to see it. We survey the roof space, lead flashings and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damp walls below an overflowing gutter and damp patches next to the stack.
Somewhere as small as Littlefield Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Roof leak investigations around Littlefield Green
With Dorney Court about 4.3 miles north-east, Littlefield Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Living close to Ockwells Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Littlefield Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Littlefield Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Littlefield Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Littlefield Green as anywhere else.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What do I do with the report?
You will get the report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How do I book a survey in Littlefield Green?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
Is the repair included in the leak investigation?
This service finds and reports the cause, and the repair is separate. With the report, a roofer knows exactly where to look.
When to book a survey in Littlefield Green
Condensation is often mistaken for a leak. Moist air from bathrooms and kitchens condenses on the cold underside of the roof, especially where ventilation is poor. Drips from nails and damp underlay are typical signs.
Common reasons to book include:
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
- Water dripping from rafters or underlay
- Damp walls below an overflowing gutter
- Leaks that appear only in driving rain
Anyone responsible for a site like Holyport College will know that 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
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is VAT included in the price?
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Write down the wind direction and rain when it leaks
- Let us know if there are tanks or pipes in the loft
- Keep water away from lights and sockets
- Leave roof access to professionals
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Pieces of slate or tile in the garden mean something has moved. Small faults dealt with quickly rarely become leaks.

What else we do in Littlefield Green
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. Older roofs in small places like Littlefield Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with your notes and photos of the leak.
- We examine the damp area and the rooms near it.
- In the loft, we follow any signs of water back towards the roof.
- Outside, we check flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details from every safe viewpoint.
- We email a written report showing where the water most likely gets in.
Before the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
Landlord and commercial surveys in Littlefield Green
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the leaking roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant.
Why get it checked now?
Water and electrics don’t mix. Keep away from any fitting that water is reaching and have an electrician check it. Finding where the water is getting in should follow right away. Older cottages and farmhouses around Littlefield Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
