Roof Leak Investigation in Sutton Green
Roof leak investigations in Sutton Green and the rest of Surrey. We survey seven days a week.
- Water that shows only in certain storms
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
- Staining around the chimney inside
Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak rarely stays small. Damp spreads into rafters, ceilings and insulation. Finding the source early keeps the damage down. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
Why book with us
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays
- An independent look at the roof

Roof leak investigation in Sutton Green: what you get
Leaks tend to begin where one part of a roof meets another. 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. Every chimney, dormer and roof light adds more joints to check. Each one is looked at from wherever it is safe to see it. We are often asked to look into damp patches next to the stack and ceiling stains that grow after rain, on valleys and parapet gutters, the roof space and flat roof details.
For a small place like Sutton Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the leaking roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Each flat roof relies on its outlets to drain. When one blocks, water ponds and finds any weak spot. We check outlets and the covering around them.
Parapet and box gutters
Parapet and box gutters sit behind walls or inside the roof. A blocked outlet sends water over the lining and into the building.
Common questions in Sutton Green
Do you cover smaller places like Sutton Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Sutton Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Sutton Green as anywhere else.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will you fix the leak as part of this?
The investigation is about finding the cause. The repair is not part of it. You get a report with photos showing where the water is getting in and what needs attention, which whoever carries out the work can follow.
Can you trace a leak in dry weather?
Normally, yes. Damp materials can be found without rain. If a leak only appears in driving rain from one direction, we’ll tell you what we found and what’s most likely.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Roof leak investigation starts from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What a roof leak investigation looks like in Sutton Green
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Sutton Green has a long history of building, with Clandon Park about 3 miles south-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live near a park like Mayford Meadows, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you live in an older home near All Souls' Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Sutton Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us where the water shows and when it appears.
- We look at the stain, the ceiling and the loft above it.
- We check the likely entry points outside, such as flashings, valleys, chimneys and gutters.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.

Common roof problems in Sutton Green
A roof valley collects the rain from two slopes. Split linings, slipped valley tiles or debris can push water under the slates or tiles. Leaks from valleys often show up some distance away inside.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damp underlay across a wide area
- Damp ceilings under a flat roof
- Staining around the chimney inside
- Staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall
If you run a business near The Peacocks, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
