Roof leak investigations for homes and businesses in Stonebridge Green
Our roof leak investigations cover Stonebridge Green 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. 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, and then ring 07833 053749 or email us to arrange a visit. Typical surveys look at brown rings on upstairs ceilings and leaks below a flat extension roof, across slate and tile slopes, valleys and parapet gutters and chimney stacks.
For a small place like Stonebridge Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report records the leaking roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What else we do in Stonebridge Green
What we look for on each type of roof
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.
Lead flashings
Some roofs have mortar where you’d expect lead. They crack as the roof and wall move, and water runs down behind them.
How we price roof leak investigations
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The property’s address and postcode
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Your questions about roof leak investigations in Stonebridge Green
Is Stonebridge Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stonebridge Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can a leak be traced on a dry day?
In most cases, yes. Damp materials can be found without rain. For leaks that only happen in certain storms, we report the most likely routes.
How do I arrange a roof leak investigation in Stonebridge Green?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is there anything I need to do ahead of the visit?
Keep a note of when it leaks. Clear access to the loft. Keep away from any light or socket that water is reaching.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Useful tips for Stonebridge Green property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Take dated photos of the leak
- Check whether pipes or tanks run near the stain
- Write down the wind direction and rain when it leaks
- Put a bucket under the drip and move valuables
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show the defects and where they are, so the repair is aimed at the cause.
Have flashings and flat roofs looked at every few years. They’re where most leaks start, and wear is easier to deal with before water gets in.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. Older roofs in small places like Stonebridge Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us where the water shows and when it appears.
- Inside, we check the damp area and the loft space above it.
- Outside, we look at every likely route in.
- Where it helps, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- You receive a written report with photos showing the likely source and what needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

What a roof leak investigation looks like in Stonebridge Green
About 5 miles south-east lies Godinton House, a reminder of how long the area around Stonebridge Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you own a rental within reach of Charing station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What we’re asked to look at in Stonebridge Green
Flat roofs fail with age and wear. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and splits, blisters and lifting laps let water in. Upstands and outlets are common weak points.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Leaks below a flat extension roof
- A leak that comes and goes with the weather
- Staining around the chimney inside
- Wet patches high on an inside wall
Take a building like Egerton Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which limits apply to the survey
