Why act early in Stunts Green
Lingering damp encourages mould on ceilings and walls. It is unpleasant, and it is harder to deal with once established. Finding the leak comes first. Older and listed buildings around Stunts Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

About our roof leak investigation in Stunts Green
Most roof leaks start at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. Common entry points include chimney and wall flashings, valleys, parapet and box gutters, and the upstands and outlets on flat roofs. Each of these is checked in turn and we follow where the evidence leads. Chimneys, dormers and roof lights each add joints of their own. Each one is looked at from wherever it’s safe to see it. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, slate and tile slopes and lead flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are wet patches on loft insulation and wet patches high on an inside wall.
Somewhere as small as Stunts Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Signs you need a roof leak investigation in Stunts Green
Flashings are one of the commonest sources of roof leaks. Where a roof meets a chimney, a wall or a dormer, lead or mortar seals the joint. When lead lifts or splits, or a mortar fillet cracks, rain runs straight in, frequently well away from where it shows.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaks at a dormer or roof window
- Staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
- Water that shows only in certain storms
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Stunts Green: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stunts Green?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Stunts Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Is Stunts Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found.
What does the report include?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the leaking roof, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Why is the stain in a different place from the leak?
Because water travels. It runs along rafters, battens or underlay before it drips, so the stain may be some distance from where it gets in. That’s why we trace the route rather than patching above the stain.
Is thermal imaging part of a leak investigation?
It can, when the conditions are right. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Damp areas can hold heat differently from dry ones. We always check what it shows with moisture readings.
How long does the visit take?
The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. We’ll give you an idea of timing when you book.
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Stunts Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
