Roof leak investigation in Peasmarsh: what you get
We use moisture detection and thermal imaging where they help. Moisture readings show which materials are wet. A thermal camera shows patterns of temperature rather than water, so we confirm what it suggests with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is part of the Premium Survey, and moisture detection comes with Standard. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, on a dry roof with little wind. If you’re worried about leaks that appear only in driving rain and brown rings on upstairs ceilings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Peasmarsh makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. Somewhere like Peasmarsh needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We help you choose the package that suits the leak.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The investigation works from the stain back to the roof.
- Moisture detection and thermal imaging are used where your package includes them and they help.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking before the day
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Note the weather when the leak shows
- Take dated photos of the leak
- Let us know about any past repairs to the roof
We email the report to you, with photos of what we found. 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.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Good airflow reduces condensation, which is often mistaken for a leak. Check insulation doesn’t block airflow at the eaves.
What affects the price in Peasmarsh
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Roof leak investigations around Peasmarsh
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. About 1.1 miles north-west lies Loseley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Peasmarsh has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to St Michael: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Living close to Shalford Mill is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Peasmarsh is about 3 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. We carry out roof leak investigations for householders, landlords and businesses in Peasmarsh and the surrounding area. Across Surrey, we cover Peasmarsh.
We survey roofs across the GU3 postcode area for roof leak investigations and the streets around it. If you need a roof leak investigation at a property on James Road, Oakdene Road and Unstead Wood or anywhere close by, we can survey it. Neighbouring places we cover for roof leak investigations include Broadford (1 mile north-east), Artington (1 mile north), Shalford (1 mile north-east), East Shalford (1 mile north-east) and Chilworth (2 miles east). Further out, we also cover Guildford (3 miles north), Woking (7 miles north), Camberley (11 miles north-west), Farnham (9 miles west), Egham (15 miles north) and Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east).
Landmarks near Peasmarsh
Around Peasmarsh, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Queen Victoria pub, Shalford Mill and Shalford Infant School, among other places. Peasmarsh’s nearest station is Shalford station, about 0.8 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Surrey Police Museum (1 mile north) and Farnham Road Hospital (1.9 miles north). Green spaces nearby include St Catherine's Hill and Farncombe Wood.
What we are asked to look at in Peasmarsh
Chimneys can let water in by several routes. Eroded pointing, cracked flaunching, failed flashings and open pots can all be responsible. The damp may appear on a chimney breast, a ceiling or in the loft.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Staining around the chimney inside
- Stains around a skylight
- Wet patches on loft insulation
- Drips from nail tips in a cold loft
If you own a rental within reach of Shalford station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Questions from Peasmarsh
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Peasmarsh?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Peasmarsh?
Yes, Peasmarsh is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Is thermal imaging part of a leak investigation?
We use thermal imaging where it helps, and it is part of the Premium Survey. It shows temperature differences, not water itself, so anything it suggests is checked with moisture readings.
How much does a roof leak investigation cost in Peasmarsh?
Roof leak investigation starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.
How long does a roof leak investigation take?
It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
How should I prepare for the leak investigation?
Clear the loft hatch so we can get into the loft space. Have any photos of the leak ready, and let us know about past repairs. In the meantime, catch the water and keep it clear of lights and sockets.
Can a leak be traced on a dry day?
In most cases, yes. Moisture detection shows where materials are damp even on a dry day. For leaks that only happen in certain storms, we report the most likely routes.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Guesswork repairs are a common reason leaks keep coming back. The real way in may be a metre or more away. We find the probable source before anyone starts work, so the repair is aimed at the right place. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Visits on any day of the week
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t 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.
