What a roof leak investigation looks like in Pachesham Park
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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 Homewood, about 3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pachesham Park. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Living close to River Mole LNR is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you own a rental within reach of Ashtead station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Therfield School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Pachesham Park is about 2 miles north-west of Ashtead, in Surrey. We visit Pachesham Park as part of our work across Surrey, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Pachesham Park is one of the towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our Guildford page covers surveys nearby.

Roof leak investigation in Pachesham Park
Some leaks only appear in certain weather. Wind-driven rain, an overflowing gutter or snow melt may be what triggers it. Notes on when it leaks, and what the weather was doing, help us, along with any photos you’ve taken. We look for the clues it leaves behind, such as tide marks, stained timbers and damp underlay. Moisture readings show where materials are still wet. We survey lead flashings, rooflights and dormers and flat roof details, and the problems we are asked to look at most are condensation that looks like a leak and a leak that comes and goes with the weather.
Many homes in small places like Pachesham Park face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Pachesham Park often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start with what you’ve seen: where the stain is and when it gets worse.
- The visit starts indoors, at the stain and in the loft.
- Outside, we look at every likely route in.
- Moisture readings and thermal imaging are used where they help.
- Your report sets out where the water is most likely getting in, with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Common questions in Pachesham Park
Do you cover smaller places like Pachesham Park?
Yes, Pachesham Park is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Pachesham Park is listed?
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.
How fast do I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Is thermal imaging part of a leak investigation?
Where conditions suit, it can. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Damp areas can hold heat differently from dry ones. We always check what it shows with moisture readings.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Will you definitely find the leak?
We can’t promise to find every leak on one visit. Most leave clues we can follow, but some only appear in certain weather. We report what we found and the likeliest sources.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
Honest limits
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- The repair itself (the investigation finds and reports the cause)
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- What’s under the covering or behind the plaster

Leave it or get it looked at?
Water damage grows the longer it is left. Damp spreads into rafters, ceilings and insulation. Finding the source early keeps the damage down. Older and listed buildings around Pachesham Park may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Roof by roof
Slate and tile slopes
Ridge and hip tiles can loosen as their mortar cracks. Rain can then run in at the ridge.
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Flat roof water can travel under the covering before it shows. Moisture readings and thermal imaging can help narrow it down where conditions suit.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
