About our roof leak investigation in Warren Corner
Our roof leak investigations cover Warren Corner and the wider South East. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. The investigation covers inside and out, from the stain to the likely entry points. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. If water is coming in now, catch it in a bucket and keep it away from lights and sockets, then phone 07833 053749 or email us. We survey slate and tile slopes, rooflights and dormers and lead flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are drips in the loft during heavy rain and staining around the chimney inside.
Roofs in small places like Warren Corner frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. 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 Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Warren Corner questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Warren Corner?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Warren Corner within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What does the report include?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. The most urgent items are made clear.
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.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Water and electrics do not mix. Keep away from any fitting that water is reaching and have an electrician check it. Then the source needs tracing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Warren Corner can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Surveys on any day of the week

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Have an electrician check any wet fittings
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look
- Mention any plumbing above the damp area
- Check the loft is accessible
Keep the report after the work is done. If the leak returns, it is a useful record of what was found.
After a downpour, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for water marks, wet underlay and damp wood. Photograph anything new.
Leaks and storm damage in Warren Corner
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Farnham Castle, about 2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Warren Corner. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you look after a building such as Crondall Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Trees in and around Basingbourne Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Warren Corner
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Roof area
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Getting in touch
We will usually ask about:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
