Roof leak investigation in Saint Hill Green, West Sussex
A careful look at the leaking roof at your property in Saint Hill Green, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Wet patches high on an inside wall
- Damp patches next to the stack
- Leaks below a flat extension roof
Leave it or get it looked at?
Patching the spot above the stain frequently doesn’t work. The real way in may be a metre or more away. We find the probable source before anyone starts work. For older village homes like those around Saint Hill Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Roof leak investigation in Saint Hill Green
We investigate roof leaks in Saint Hill Green and across London and South East England. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. We look inside and out, at flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. If water is coming in now, catch it in a bucket and keep it away from lights and sockets, and then phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We survey rooflights and dormers, the roof space and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall and damp ceilings under a flat roof.
In a village or hamlet like Saint Hill Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

How long does a roof leak investigation take?
It typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Report times depend on the package.
Is thermal imaging part of a leak investigation?
We use thermal imaging where it helps, and it is included in our Premium Survey. It picks up temperature patterns rather than water, so anything it suggests is checked with moisture readings.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
How do you tell a leak from condensation?
It’s a common question. Leaks tend to follow wet weather and show in one place, while condensation is often spread out and worse in cold weather. We tell you which it is most likely to be.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
Debris in a valley slows the water and pushes it sideways. In heavy rain, it can spill under the edges of the slates or tiles.
Slate and tile slopes
Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles let rain onto the underlay. Older felt may hold for a while, but it tears with age.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Saint Hill Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with your notes and photos of the leak.
- We examine the damp area and the rooms near it.
- From the loft space, we trace the water’s route where there is safe access.
- Outside, we check flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details from every safe viewpoint.
- You receive a report with the likely source, photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
Leaks and storm damage in Saint Hill Green
The wider area around Saint Hill Green has a long history of building, with Saint Hill Manor about 0.1 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you let a flat or house near East Grinstead station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Anyone responsible for a site like The Meads Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. The streets around a church like St. Barnabas Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
