Roof leak investigation in Westfield, Surrey
Find out what’s going on with the leaking roof before you decide what to do next. Roof leak investigations in Westfield, with photos and a clear written report.
- Damp walls below an overflowing gutter
- Water marks that spread in wet weather
- Water dripping from rafters or underlay
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate and tile slopes
A gap in the coverings exposes the underlay. Older felt may hold for a while, but it tears with age.
Lead flashings
Lead flashings seal the joints at chimneys, walls and dormers. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped, and for flashings that have been patched with bitumen.
Roof leak investigations for homes and businesses in Westfield
Moisture readings and thermal imaging are used where they’re useful. 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. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, on a dry roof with little wind. If you’re worried about damp patches next to the stack and damp underlay across a wide area, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Houses in smaller places like Westfield can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Westfield: your questions answered
Do you cover Westfield?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Westfield is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Westfield is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is the repair included in the leak investigation?
Our job here is to trace the leak and explain it, and the repair is separate. With the report, a roofer knows exactly where to look.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
Do you use thermal imaging to find leaks?
We use thermal imaging where it helps, and it is included in our Premium Survey. It shows temperature differences, not water itself, so anything it suggests is checked with moisture readings.
How quickly is the report sent?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- A structural engineer’s report

- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roof details
- The roof space
- Lead flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Rooflights and dormers
Why get it checked now?
Damp in a ceiling or loft can lead to mould. It’s unpleasant, and it’s harder to deal with once established. Stopping the water is the first step. In a smaller place like Westfield, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. Being in a smaller place like Westfield doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We help you choose the package that suits the leak.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect inside and out, starting from the stain.
- Where it is useful and included, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Arrange a survey
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.

Leaks and storm damage in Westfield
About 4.1 miles south-east lies Clandon Park, a reminder of how long the area around Westfield has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like 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. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Take a building like Westfield Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you let a flat or house near Woking station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Do you need a roof leak investigation in Westfield?
A chimney stack has lots of places for rain to get in. Water can enter through crumbling mortar, cracked flaunching, worn flashings or uncapped pots. It can show up on the chimney breast, nearby ceilings or in the loft space.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damp on a chimney breast
- Staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall
- Brown rings on upstairs ceilings
- Water through the ceiling under a flat roof
Living close to Hoe Valley Linear Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
What to check before booking
- What experience they bring
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
