Roof leak investigation in Tuesley
Water is good at hiding where it gets in. It can run along a rafter, a batten or the underlay before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling is seldom right under the hole. Our leak investigation traces it back. A repair aimed only at the stain can miss the cause entirely. Tracing the route first means any work can be aimed at the right place. If you are worried about drips from nail tips in a cold loft and water coming in around a roof light or dormer, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Tuesley face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it’s useful to mention:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

What else we do in Tuesley
Roof by roof
Valleys
A valley takes the rain from both sides of the roof. Split lead, cracked linings or slipped tiles let water in.
Slate and tile slopes
Ridge and hip tiles can loosen as their mortar cracks. Water then gets in along the top of the roof.
Tuesley questions
Is Tuesley in the area you cover?

Is Tuesley within the area you cover?

Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you trace a leak in dry weather?
In most cases, yes. Moisture detection shows where materials are damp even on a dry day. For leaks that only happen in certain storms, we report the most likely routes.
Will you fix the leak as part of this?
This service finds and reports the cause, not to carry out the repair. The report gives any roofer a clear brief.
What a roof leak investigation looks like in Tuesley
Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 3.4 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Tuesley goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Living close to Phillips Memorial Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For landlords with property near Milford (Surrey) station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Tuesley is about 6 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. We carry out roof leak investigations in Tuesley for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings, with a written report and photographs every time. Tuesley is one of the places in Surrey where we work for roof leak investigations. We also survey roofs in Guildford.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Tuesley
Water and electrics do not mix. Keep away from any fitting that water is reaching. Finding where the water is getting in should follow right away. In a place like Tuesley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Do you need a roof leak investigation in Tuesley?
Condensation is often mistaken for a leak. Moist air from bathrooms and kitchens condenses on the cold underside of the roof, particularly in lofts with blocked eaves. Drips from nails and damp underlay are typical signs.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Water that shows only in certain storms
- Stains around a skylight
- Wet patches on loft insulation
- Staining around the chimney inside
Take a building like Godalming College: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Before you book anyone
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. Older roofs in small places like Tuesley can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go 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.
- Where it’s useful and included, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
