Roof leak investigations for homes and businesses in Munstead Heath
On a flat roof, water can travel a long way under the covering. Splits, blisters, failed laps, worn upstands and blocked outlets are common causes. Ponding water makes any weakness worse. We check both the covering and the room underneath. Leaks under flat extension, garage and dormer roofs are common. An ageing felt roof is a frequent culprit. We survey the roof space, valleys and parapet gutters and rooflights and dormers, and the problems we are asked to look at most are wet patches on loft insulation and damp patches next to the stack.
Somewhere as small as Munstead Heath, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the leaking roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. In a hamlet or village like Munstead Heath, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- Outside, we check flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details from every safe viewpoint.
- We email a written report showing where the water most likely gets in.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Munstead Heath questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Munstead Heath?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Munstead Heath?
Yes, Munstead Heath is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Why is the stain in a different place from the leak?
Because water travels. It can follow a timber or the underlay a long way first, so the entry point is often well away from the mark. That’s why we trace the route rather than patching above the stain.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What a roof leak investigation looks like in Munstead Heath
The wider area around Munstead Heath has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 3 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist Church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Anyone responsible for a site like Busbridge Infant School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Homes near green spaces such as Phillips Memorial Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check whether pipes or tanks run near the stain
- Clear the loft hatch so we can get in
- Have an electrician check any wet fittings
- Protect furniture and flooring under the leak
We email the report to you. It explains the likely entry point, the route the water takes and our recommendations. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Good airflow reduces condensation, which is often mistaken for a leak. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak that returns after a repair typically means the real source wasn’t found. We look past the obvious spot and check each likely route. That’s often what breaks the cycle. In a place like Munstead Heath, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
