Roof leak investigation in Millbridge
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, plus recommendations on what needs attention. It gives any roofer a clear brief. The investigation finds and explains the cause, and the repair itself is a separate job. If you’ve noticed damp underlay across a wide area and leaks at a dormer or roof window, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roof details, rooflights and dormers and chimney stacks alike.
Being in a small place like Millbridge makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
If any part of the leaking roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Millbridge can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We help you choose the package that suits the leak.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- The investigation works from the stain back to the roof.
- Where it’s useful and included, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Advice
Roof leak investigations in Millbridge: local notes
About 3.1 miles north lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Millbridge has been built on. 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. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you own a rental within reach of Farnham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Millbridge is about 2 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. From houses to flats and shops in Millbridge, we can survey the roof. Our Surrey coverage includes Millbridge and the places around it. Guildford is in our area too.

Local landmarks in Millbridge

A little further out are Museum of Farnham (2.7 miles north) and Farnham Castle (3.1 miles north). Open spaces near Millbridge include Culverswell Hill and Farnham Heath.
Why act early in Millbridge
Lingering damp encourages mould on ceilings and walls. It’s unpleasant, and it is harder to deal with once established. Finding the leak comes first. For an older or listed building in a place like Millbridge, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
We check the outside of the stack and the breast inside, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection.
Valleys
A valley leak can appear well away from the valley inside. From inside the roof space, we follow the water’s route back.
What we’re asked to look at in Millbridge
Flat roofs fail with age and wear. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and as it ages it splits, blisters and opens at the laps. Leaks frequently start at the edges, upstands and outlets.
Common reasons to book include:
- Staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall
- Drips from nail tips in a cold loft
- Water that shows only in certain storms
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
Take a building like St Mary's CofE Aided Infant School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
What to check before booking
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What the survey will not cover
What a roof leak investigation doesn’t cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Leaks that only appear in weather we can’t recreate

FAQs for Millbridge
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Millbridge?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Millbridge?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Millbridge as anywhere else.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Is thermal imaging part of a leak investigation?
It can, when the conditions are right. The best results come after a sunny day, on a dry roof with little wind. Damp areas can hold heat differently from dry ones. Its findings are confirmed with a moisture check.
How do I book a survey in Millbridge?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
