Roof Leak Investigation in Mundy Bois
Tracing where water is getting into your roof in Mundy Bois, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- A leak that comes and goes with the weather
- Damp on a chimney breast
- Brown rings on upstairs ceilings
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Roof leak investigation in Mundy Bois
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. Whoever does the work then has a clear starting point. The investigation finds and explains the cause, while the repair is a separate matter. We survey flat roof details, rooflights and dormers and valleys and parapet gutters, and people most frequently book us about a leak that comes and goes with the weather and leaks below a flat extension roof.
Roofs in small places like Mundy Bois frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why act early in Mundy Bois
If a leak has been ‘fixed’ before and has come back, the cause was probably missed. A careful investigation looks at every likely route, not just the obvious one. That is frequently what breaks the cycle. For older village homes like those around Mundy Bois, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
Take a look at what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The size of the roof
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Where the property is, with the postcode
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Useful tips for Mundy Bois property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Write down the wind direction and rain when it leaks
- Let us know what has already been tried
- Check the loft is accessible
- Keep a photo record of the damp patch
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes one in person. It is a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, ideally once the leaves have fallen. Blocked outlets on parapet and flat roofs cause many leaks. Use a professional rather than climbing up yourself.
Your questions about roof leak investigations in Mundy Bois
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mundy Bois?
Yes, Mundy Bois is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Mundy Bois?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a leak be traced on a dry day?
In many cases, yes. Leaks leave clues, like staining, damp timber and moisture in materials. Some leaks only show in particular weather, so photos and notes from when it leaks help a lot.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
What happens on the day
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Mundy Bois, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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.
- We inspect the likely entry points outside, from the ground, windows and the roof where safe.
- We email a written report showing where the water most likely gets in.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

Signs you need a roof leak investigation in Mundy Bois
A roof valley collects the rain from two slopes. Split linings, slipped valley tiles or debris can send that water under the coverings. Leaks from valleys often show up some distance away inside.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
- Leaks below a flat extension roof
- A leak that comes and goes with the weather
- Staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall
If you look after a building such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
What to check before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What the survey won’t cover
Leaks and storm damage in Mundy Bois
With Godinton House about 5 miles east, Mundy Bois sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For landlords with property near Pluckley station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. The streets around a church like Church of St James are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
