Roof leak investigations around Lucas Green
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. 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. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you let a flat or house near Brookwood station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take an older house close to Holy Trinity: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Roof leak investigation in Lucas Green
The aim is to find where the water is getting in and explain it. The report shows, with photos, where we believe the water gets in and how it travels, and recommends what should be done. It gives any roofer a clear brief. The investigation finds and explains the cause, and the repair itself is a separate job. Common reasons to book are leaks at a dormer or roof window and brown rings on upstairs ceilings, on the roof space, slate and tile slopes and valleys and parapet gutters.
For a small place like Lucas Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Do you need a roof leak investigation in Lucas Green?
Every flat roof covering has a working life. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and splits, blisters and lifting laps let water in. Leaks often start at the edges, upstands and outlets.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Stains around a skylight
- Damp on a chimney breast
- Damp underlay across a wide area
- Water dripping from rafters or underlay
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Peacocks, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- When you will get the report
- Their insurance cover
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Have an electrician check any wet fittings
- Clear the loft hatch so we can get in
- Take dated photos of the leak
We email the report to you, with photos of what we found. It sets out where we believe the water is getting in, how it’s travelling and what needs attention. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day.
Have flashings and flat roofs looked at every few years. They’re where most leaks start, and catching wear early keeps water out.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Lucas Green
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the leaking roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Whether rotten timbers meet design loads
- Carrying out the fix
- What’s under the covering or behind the plaster
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

- Valleys and parapet gutters
- The roof space
- Slate and tile slopes
- Lead flashings

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Lucas Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You pick a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- We inspect inside and out, starting from the stain.
- Where it’s useful and included, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about parking before the day
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Lucas Green: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Lucas Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Lucas Green?
Yes. Lucas Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can every leak be traced?
Not always, and we will be honest about that. Water can travel a long way, and some leaks only show in particular storms. If we cannot be sure, the report ranks the possible sources.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
Stains from a valley leak often show some distance off. From inside the loft space, we follow the water’s route back.
Lead flashings
A leak at a flashing often shows some way from the joint. We check every flashing that could feed the stain.
