Roof leak investigation in Stonehill
Our roof leak investigations cover Stonehill and the wider South East. We visit on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The investigation covers inside and out, from the stain to the likely entry points. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations. If water is coming in now, catch it in a bucket and keep it away from lights and sockets, then phone 07833 053749 or email us. We’re often asked to look into water dripping from rafters or underlay and water coming in around a roof light or dormer, across lead flashings, chimney stacks and flat roof details.
Roofs in small places like Stonehill often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

More services for Stonehill
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Flat roof water can travel under the covering before it shows. Moisture readings and thermal imaging can help narrow it down where conditions suit.
Valleys
Leaves and moss build up in valleys and hold water back. During a downpour, water can back up under the coverings.
Why act early in Stonehill
If a leak has been ‘fixed’ before and has come back, the cause was probably missed. We look past the obvious spot and check each likely route. It gives the next repair a far better chance. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stonehill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
Why book with us

DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Stonehill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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 we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Tell us about parking before the day

Roof leak investigations around Stonehill
With Botleys Mansion about 1.4 miles north-east, Stonehill sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Landlords with a home close to Longcross station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Peacocks, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

Questions from Stonehill
Do you cover smaller places like Stonehill?
Yes. Stonehill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Stonehill is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Is it a leak or condensation?
The two can look alike. Widespread damp on the underside of the roof in cold weather, with blocked vents, suggests condensation. We check the pattern, take moisture readings and tell you which is more likely.
Can every leak be traced?
We can’t promise it. Some leaks hide well, especially those that need wind-driven rain. Where the source is not certain, we list the likely routes in order.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
