About our roof leak investigation in Warfield Park
We use moisture detection and thermal imaging where they help. Moisture readings show which materials are wet. Thermal imaging shows temperature differences that can point to wet areas, not water itself, so we confirm what it suggests with moisture readings. Moisture detection is included in the Standard Survey, and thermal imaging in Premium. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, on a dry roof with little wind. We survey the roof space, valleys and parapet gutters and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks that appear only in driving rain and condensation that looks like a leak.
In older homes around places like Warfield Park, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How we price roof leak investigations
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How big the roof is
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What to tell us when you contact us
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
What you can safely check yourself
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
A valley takes the rain from both sides of the roof. Split lead, cracked linings or slipped tiles let water in.
Flat roof upstands and outlets
The upturned edge of a flat roof covering keeps water out at walls. If it is too low, cracked or poorly dressed, water gets behind it.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Warfield Park
Leaks tend to get worse, not better. Each storm can open a gap a little more. An investigation now gives you time to plan the work. Around Warfield Park, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
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’d like to know.

What we are asked to look at in Warfield Park
Flat roofs fail with age and wear. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and as it ages it splits, blisters and opens at the laps. Upstands and outlets are common weak points.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Leaks at a dormer or roof window
- A leak that comes and goes with the weather
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
- Damp ceilings under a flat roof
Shop and office owners around The Lexicon may find that water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
What to check before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What experience they bring
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. Being in a smaller place like Warfield Park doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You let us know where the water appears, when, and what the weather was doing.
- Inside, we check the stain and the ceiling around it.
- In the loft, we follow any signs of water back towards the roof.
- Outside, we check flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details from every safe vantage point.
- You receive a report with the likely source, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

FAQs for Warfield Park
Are flat-roofed garages and porches in Warfield Park worth including?
Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it when booking. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check before they’re disturbed.
Will you come out to Warfield Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is thermal imaging part of a leak investigation?
Where conditions suit, it can. The best results come after a sunny day, on a dry roof with little wind. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, which can show up on the image. We always check what it shows with moisture readings.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you trace a leak in dry weather?
In many cases, yes. Leaks leave clues, like staining, damp timber and moisture in materials. Intermittent leaks can be harder, so your photos and notes from wet days are very useful.
What a roof leak investigation looks like in Warfield Park
Bracknell, which Warfield Park is part of, is one of England’s 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Anyone responsible for a site like Whitegrove Primary 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. Landlords with a home close to Martins Heron station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
