Roof leak investigation in Twineham Green
We use moisture detection and thermal imaging where they help. Moisture detection confirms where timbers, plaster or insulation are damp. Thermal imaging shows temperature differences that can point to wet areas, not water itself, so its findings are checked with moisture readings. Moisture detection is included in the Standard Survey, and thermal imaging in Premium. The best thermal results come after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. Common reasons to book are damp underlay across a wide area and staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall, on lead flashings, chimney stacks and rooflights and dormers.
In a village or hamlet like Twineham Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. 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’s worth finding the cause soon.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Keep a photo record of the damp patch
- Let us know what has already been tried
- Record whether it leaks in every downpour or only some
- Leave roof access to professionals
Once the work is done, hold on to the report. If the leak returns, it is a useful record of what was found.
Look at the roof from the ground after strong winds. Pieces of slate or tile in the garden mean something has moved. Prompt repairs stop gaps turning into leaks.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Common questions in Twineham Green
Do you cover smaller places like Twineham Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is Twineham Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Twineham Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Can you find a leak when it isn’t raining?
Typically, yes. Damp materials can be found without rain. For leaks that only happen in certain storms, we report the most likely routes.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How do I book a survey in Twineham Green?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
When to book a survey in Twineham Green
A roof valley collects the rain from two slopes. Worn lead, cracked linings or a build-up of leaves and moss 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:
- Staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall
- Water dripping from rafters or underlay
- Drips from nail tips in a cold loft
- Damp patches next to the stack
If you let a flat or house near Burgess Hill station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How soon the report will arrive
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the price includes VAT
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Twineham Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve seen: where the stain is and when it gets worse.
- The visit starts indoors, at the stain and in the loft.
- Outside, we check every likely route in.
- Where it helps, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- Your report sets out where the water is most likely getting in, with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Tell us about parking before the day
How to book
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Damp in a ceiling or loft can lead to mould. It is unpleasant, and it’s harder to deal with once established. Finding the leak comes first. For an older or listed building in a place like Twineham Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
A valley leak can appear well away from the valley inside. From inside the roof space, we follow the water’s route back.
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Each flat roof relies on its outlets to drain. When one blocks, water ponds and finds any weak spot. Outlets and the area around them are checked.
Leaks and storm damage in Twineham Green
Historic houses such as Ockenden Manor, about 3.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Twineham Green goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as 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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you look after a building such as Twineham CofE Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. The streets around a church like The Parish Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
