How a roof leak investigation works in Stocker's Head
Our roof leak investigations cover Stocker's Head and the wider South East. 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 photographs 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 email us to arrange a visit. If you are worried about wet patches high on an inside wall and staining around the chimney inside, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Stocker's Head makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it usually takes an hour or two at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Stocker's Head can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We help you choose the package that suits the leak.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- 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.
- The report explains the likely entry point and what needs attention.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Mortar fillets are sometimes used instead of lead. They crack as the roof and wall move, letting rain run behind the joint.
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Each flat roof relies on its outlets to drain. A blocked outlet leaves water standing, which tests every joint. Outlets and the area around them are looked at.
Leaks and storm damage in Stocker's Head
About 3.9 miles north lies Belmont House and Gardens, a reminder of how long the area around Stocker's Head has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For landlords with property near Charing station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Anyone responsible for a site like Charing Church of England 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.

FAQs for Stocker's Head
Will you come out to Stocker's Head?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Yes, Stocker's Head is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Why is not the leak directly above the stain?
Rain that gets in will run along whatever it lands on. On a flat roof it can travel under the covering before it finds a way through the ceiling. Tracing that path is the heart of a leak investigation.
Could my leak actually be condensation?
The two can look alike. Drips from nail tips, damp underlay over a wide area and poor loft ventilation point towards condensation. We check the pattern, take moisture readings and tell you which is more likely.
What should I do before you arrive?
Note when the leak appears and what the weather was doing, and take photos. Clear access to the loft. Keep away from any light or socket that water is reaching.
Is the repair included in the leak investigation?
Our job here is to trace the leak and explain it, and the repair is separate. The report gives any roofer a clear brief.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, tell us as you book.

What else we do in Stocker's Head
Why act early in Stocker's Head
A leak that returns after a repair typically means the real source wasn’t found. We look past the obvious spot and check each likely route. That is frequently what breaks the cycle. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Signs you need a roof leak investigation in Stocker's Head
A roof valley collects the rain from two slopes. Worn lead, cracked linings or a build-up of leaves and moss can send that water under the coverings. The stain may appear well away from the valley itself.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
- Water dripping from rafters or underlay
- Water coming in around a roof light or dormer
- Wet patches high on an inside wall
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
