About our roof leak investigation in Middlegreen
Our roof leak investigations cover Middlegreen and the wider South East. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. We look inside and out, at flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. If it’s leaking right now, contain the water and keep it clear of electrics, and then call 07833 053749 or email us. If you are worried about drips from nail tips in a cold loft and wet patches high on an inside wall, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on lead flashings, valleys and parapet gutters and rooflights and dormers alike.
In a village or hamlet like Middlegreen, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
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.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Damp in a ceiling or loft can lead to mould. It’s unpleasant, and it’s harder to deal with once established. Stopping the water is the first step. For older village homes like those around Middlegreen, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the leaking roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. Around Middlegreen, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen: where the stain is and when it gets worse.
- Inside, we check the damp area and the loft space above it.
- Outside, we look at every likely route in.
- Where it helps, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- Your report sets out where the water is most likely getting in, with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby
How to book

What else we do in Middlegreen
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate and tile slopes
On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip. One slipped slate can be enough to cause a leak.
Valleys
Valleys collect water from two roof slopes. Split lead, cracked linings or slipped tiles let water in.
Leaks and storm damage in Middlegreen
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Windsor Castle, about 2.8 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Middlegreen. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church such as St Mary the Virgin Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For landlords with property near Langley station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Living close to Ditton Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Record whether it leaks in every downpour or only some
- Mention any plumbing above the damp area
- Mention earlier attempts to fix the leak
- Photograph the stain each time it appears
Where we find more than one possible route, we say which is most likely and why. 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.
