How a roof leak investigation works in Wingham Green
On a flat roof, water can travel a long way under the covering. Common causes are splits and blisters, tired upstands and outlets that don’t drain. Ponding water makes any weakness worse. We check the roof surface and the ceiling below to narrow it down. Leaks under flat extension, garage and dormer roofs are common. Felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, so age is part of the picture. We survey rooflights and dormers, chimney stacks and flat roof details, and common reasons people get in touch are water marks that spread in wet weather and leaks below a flat extension roof.
Being in a small place like Wingham Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

FAQs for Wingham Green
Do you cover Wingham Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Wingham Green is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
Is my home in Wingham Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How long does the visit take?
It usually takes between one and two hours, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you fix the leak as part of this?
The investigation is about finding the cause. The repair is not part of it. You get a report with photos showing where the water is getting in and what needs attention, which whoever carries out the work can follow.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Could my leak actually be condensation?
Many apparent leaks turn out to be condensation. Leaks tend to follow wet weather and show in one place, while condensation is often widespread and worst on cold days. The report explains which it looks like and what to do.

Why get it checked now?
If a leak has been ‘fixed’ before and has come back, the cause was probably missed. We look past the obvious spot and check each likely route. That is often what breaks the cycle. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Wingham Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Wingham Green
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the leaking roof.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Leaks and storm damage in Wingham Green
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Goodnestone Park about 2.1 miles south-east, Wingham Green sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wingham Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For landlords with property near Adisham station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How big the roof is
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. Cottages and farmhouses around Wingham Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- You let us know where the water shows and when it appears.
- We check the stain, the ceiling and the loft above it.
- Outside, we check every likely route in.
- Where it helps, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- You receive a written report with photos showing the likely source and what needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
