Common questions in Partridge Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Partridge Green?
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 Partridge Green?
Yes, Partridge Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What does a roof survey cost?
Roof leak investigation starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does the investigation include the repair?
A leak investigation finds and reports the likely source. The repair isn’t part of it. You get a report with photos showing where the water is getting in and what needs attention, which whoever carries out the work can follow.
Is thermal imaging part of a leak investigation?
Thermal imaging is used where it’s useful, and it is part of the Premium Survey. It picks up temperature patterns rather than water, so anything it suggests is checked with moisture readings.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, tell us when booking.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Roof leak investigations for homes and businesses in Partridge Green
We investigate roof leaks in Partridge Green and across London and South East England. We visit on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We look inside and out, at flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details. The findings come in a written report with photos. If water is coming in now, catch it in a bucket and keep it away from lights and sockets, then ring 07833 053749 or email us. Common reasons to book are ceiling stains that grow after rain and water coming in around a roof light or dormer, across the roof space, slate and tile slopes and valleys and parapet gutters.
Many homes in small places like Partridge Green face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report records the leaking roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a small place like Partridge Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know where the water appears, when, and what the weather was doing.
- 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.
- You receive a report with the likely source, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
Signs you need a roof leak investigation in Partridge Green
Valleys carry a lot of water. Worn lead, cracked linings or a build-up of leaves and moss can send that water under the coverings. Leaks from valleys often show up some distance away inside.
We are often asked to look at:
- Water marks that spread in wet weather
- Damp underlay across a wide area
- Damp on a chimney breast
- Leaks that appear only in driving rain
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Jolesfield CofE Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

- How soon the report will arrive
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Wind, rain and roofs in Partridge Green
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Michael and All Angels Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

What we can’t see

- Whether rotten timbers meet design loads

If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

Useful tips for Partridge Green property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Let us know what has already been tried
- Record whether it leaks in every downpour or only some
- Mention any plumbing above the damp area
If there are several possible sources, we list them in order of likelihood. We say which items need prompt attention.
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. Leave the clearing to someone with the right equipment.

Why get it checked now?
Leaks tend to get worse, not better. Each storm can open a gap a little more. Tracing it now lets you plan the work rather than react to it. In a small place like Partridge Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
