About our roof leak investigation in Molash
Moisture readings and thermal imaging are used where they’re useful. Moisture detection confirms where timbers, plaster or insulation are damp. Thermal imaging shows temperature differences that can point to wet areas, not water itself, so its findings are checked with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is part of the Premium Survey, and moisture detection comes with Standard. The best thermal results come after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If you’ve noticed damp patches next to the stack and wet patches on loft insulation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on the roof space, flat roof details and lead flashings alike.
Being in a small place like Molash makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: 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, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What affects the price in Molash
To price your survey, we look at:
- Which survey package you book
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors

When to book a survey in Molash
Flat roofs fail with age and wear. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and splits, blisters and lifting laps let water in. Upstands and outlets are common weak points.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Leaks that appear only in driving rain
- Staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall
- Staining around the chimney inside
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
If you own a rental within reach of Wye station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
What to check before booking
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the price includes VAT
Why get it checked now?
A leak near lights or wiring needs attention quickly. Keep away from any fitting that water is reaching and have an electrician check it. Then the source needs tracing. Older and listed buildings around Molash may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why book with us
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- PI and public liability insurance
- An independent look at the roof
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)

What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Molash, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You get in touch with details of the leak and any photos.
- Inside, we check the damp area and the roof space above it.
- Outside, we check every likely route in.
- Where it helps, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- You receive a written report with photos showing the likely source and what needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

What a roof leak investigation looks like in Molash
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens, about 3.8 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Molash goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Questions from Molash
Do you carry out roof surveys in Molash?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is Molash within the area you cover?
Yes, Molash is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you use thermal imaging to find leaks?
Where conditions suit, it can. The best results come after a sunny day, on a dry roof with little wind. Damp areas can hold heat differently from dry ones. We always check what it shows with moisture readings.
Why is the stain in a different place from the leak?
Water follows the easiest path, not the shortest. On a pitched roof it often runs down a rafter before it shows. Following that route is what our investigation does.
Can you trace a leak in dry weather?
Often, yes. Stains, tide marks, damp timbers and moisture readings normally point the way. Some leaks only show in particular weather, so photos and notes from when it leaks help a lot.
Will you definitely find the leak?
We cannot promise it. Water can travel a long way, and some leaks only show in particular storms. Where the source is not certain, we list the likely routes in order.
Will you fix the leak as part of this?
This service finds and reports the cause, and the repair is separate. The report gives any roofer a clear brief.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep water away from lights and sockets
- Let us know what has already been tried
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look
- Check the loft is accessible
If the leak turns out to be condensation, the report says so, and suggest how the roof space could be better ventilated. That avoids roof work that wouldn’t help.
Have flashings and flat roofs looked at every few years. Flashings, valleys and flat roof details are frequent weak points, and catching wear early keeps water out.
