Roof leak investigation in Temple Park, Bracknell Forest
Tracing where water is getting into your roof around Temple Park, with a written report you can act on. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Damp ceilings under a flat roof
- Water that shows only in certain storms
- Damp patches next to the stack
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a survey in Temple Park, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You get in touch with details of the leak and any photos.
- We check the stain, the ceiling and the loft above it.
- Likely entry points outside are checked, from flashings and valleys to gutters and outlets.
- Moisture readings and thermal imaging are used where they help.
- Your report sets out where the water is most likely getting in, with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Advice
Roof leak investigation in Temple Park: what you get
Not every drip is a leak. In a badly ventilated roof space, condensation can form under the roof and drip, and the stains look much like a leak. Knowing which it is means the right fix can be done, since the cure for one won’t solve the other. We check the pattern of damp, the weather and the ventilation before reaching a view. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and lead flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaks below a flat extension roof and staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall.
Houses in smaller places like Temple Park can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Temple Park questions
Do you cover smaller places like Temple Park?
Yes, Temple Park is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Temple Park listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Why is not the leak directly above the stain?
Water follows the easiest path, not the shortest. 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.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Wet insulation doesn’t insulate well. Insulation can soak up water quietly before anything shows below. Catching it early limits what has to be replaced. Blocked gutters on homes around Temple Park overflow and soak walls. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Temple Park
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- What’s under the covering or behind the plaster
- Leaks from plumbing, tanks or pipework rather than the roof
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Leaks and storm damage in Temple Park
Temple Park is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Low pitches let wind-driven rain reach further under the tiles, and flat-roofed garages and porches are common leak points. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you run a business near The Lexicon, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take a building like Meadow Vale Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
