Roof leak investigation in Trumps Green: what you get
Some leaks only appear in certain weather. Wind-driven rain, an overflowing gutter or snow melt may be what triggers it. Telling us when it happens helps a lot, along with any photos you’ve taken. We look for the clues it leaves behind, like tide marks, stained timbers and damp underlay. Moisture readings show where materials are still wet. If you’ve noticed leaks below a flat extension roof and brown rings on upstairs ceilings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Roofs in small places like Trumps Green frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Trumps Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us where the water appears, when, and what the weather was doing.
- We examine the damp area and the rooms near it.
- From the roof space, we trace the water’s route where there is safe access.
- Outside, we check flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details from every safe viewpoint.
- You receive a report with the likely source, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Related advice
Do you need a roof leak investigation in Trumps Green?
Many leaks begin at a flashing. Where a roof meets a chimney, a wall or a dormer, lead or mortar seals the joint. Once that seal cracks or lifts, water gets behind it.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Condensation that looks like a leak
- Damp ceilings under a flat roof
- Water that shows only in certain storms
- Stains around a skylight
The streets around a church such as Christ Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What exactly goes into their report
- What’s outside the scope of the survey

Why get it checked now?
Damp in a ceiling or loft can lead to mould. It is unpleasant, and it is harder to deal with once established. Stopping the water is the first step. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Trumps Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a roof leak investigation starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Keep a photo record of the damp patch
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Note the weather when the leak shows
- Keep water away from lights and sockets
If the leak turns out to be condensation, the report says so, with recommendations on ventilation. That avoids roof work that wouldn’t help.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, ideally once the leaves have fallen. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet. Leave the clearing to someone with the right equipment.
Leaks and storm damage in Trumps Green
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Botleys Mansion, about 2.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Trumps Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Living close to Riverside Walk is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Anyone responsible for a site like Trumps Green Infant School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Trumps Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Trumps Green?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Trumps Green?
Yes, Trumps Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
How do you tell a leak from condensation?
Condensation can look very like a leak. Drips from nail tips, damp underlay over a wide area and poor loft ventilation point towards condensation. We check the pattern, take moisture readings and tell you which is more likely.
Will you definitely find the leak?
We cannot promise to find every leak on one visit. Many leave clear signs, but some only appear in certain weather. We report what we found and the likeliest sources.
