How a roof leak investigation works in New Haw
Some leaks only appear in certain weather. Driving rain from one direction, melting snow or a gutter that overflows in a downpour can all set it off. Telling us when it happens helps a lot and so do photos. We look for the clues it leaves behind, such as tide marks, stained timbers and damp underlay. Moisture detection shows which materials are still damp. We survey rooflights and dormers, slate and tile slopes and lead flashings, and people most often book us about water dripping from rafters or underlay and water that shows only in certain storms.
Older cottages and houses around New Haw may have roofs with little or no underlay. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it is old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Leaks and storm damage in New Haw
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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. The wider area around New Haw has a long history of building, with Byfleet Manor about 1.9 miles south-east. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to All Saints Church: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you let a flat or house near Byfleet & New Haw station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Living close to Manor Farm is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
New Haw is about 2 miles south-west of Weybridge, in Surrey. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in New Haw can all book roof leak investigations. Our area takes in places right across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford.

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Height and safe access
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The kind of building and roof involved
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Why get it checked now?
Water and electrics don’t mix. Keep away from any fitting that water is reaching. Finding where the water is getting in should follow straight away. Arranging work in a smaller place like New Haw is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What you get with us
- Package prices that include VAT
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around New Haw, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- You pick a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- We inspect inside and out, starting from the stain.
- Where it’s useful and included, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- The report explains the likely entry point and what needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Leave side gates unlocked

Common questions in New Haw
Does a conservation area affect roof work in New Haw?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is New Haw within the area you cover?
Yes. New Haw is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Let us know what has already been tried
- Catch drips in a bucket and protect the floor
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Mention any plumbing above the damp area
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.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Air movement keeps condensation down, which is often mistaken for a leak. Check insulation doesn’t block airflow at the eaves.
When you need someone else
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Carrying out the fix
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
