Roof Leak Detection

If you’ve recently discovered a leak, or evidence of a potential leak, it’s best to ask an expert to inspect it right away. The appearance of a leak could be the first sign that something has been causing damage for a considerable time.

Booking roof leak specialists in London means that the location of the leak can be pinpointed, and the appropriate action can then be taken to prevent the problem from reoccurring.

Before we commit to any repair on a leaking roof in London, our team will conduct an in-depth assessment to establish the location and cause of the leak.

We’ll check for:

  • Missing or damaged tiles/shingles
  • Cracking flashing around chimneys, vents or skylights
  • Pooling water on a flat roof
  • Split seams or membrane damage
  • Blocked gutters and drainage

We’ll then assess the interior and look for:

  • Water stains
  • Damp insulation
  • Mould growth
  • Bubbling paint or plaster

Our roof leak detection methods

Depending on the roof, we may use various methods to locate a leak. This might include:

  • Moisture meter testing: Often used on flat roofs and commercial properties to identify wet insulation, hidden water spread or saturated decking
  • Thermal imaging: Often used for larger roofs and on non-invasive inspections. It’s a fast way to find hidden moisture.
  • Electronic leak detection: Common for EPDM roofs and TPO membranes, and will find breaches in waterproof membranes.
  • Drone roof surveys: For the roofs that may prove difficult to inspect due to size or steepness.

Can I claim on my insurance for a leaking roof?

A leaking roof is never welcome; thanks to the damage it can cause and the expense it may incur. However, not all leaks are covered by your home insurance. Our detailed blog on whether homeowners’ insurance covers a leaking roof answers your key questions, but you should remain aware that:

Your insurance may cover you if:

  • Storm damage
  • Vandalism
  • Falling trees

Your insurance may not cover you for:

  • Wear and tear
  • Faulty repairs
  • Specific roof types (thatched & slate are often exempt)

If you have a leaking roof and are concerned about whether insurance covers it, be proactive. Insurers often reject claims because homeowners didn’t act fast enough or provide suitable proof:

  • Take photos and videos of the damage before any work is conducted.
  • Keep all receipts for any emergency roof leak repairs.
  • Report the damage to your insurer quickly. There is often a reporting window for claim submission.
  • Maintain all damaged materials until the insurer has seen them.

Most policies cover sudden, unexpected damage but not gradual deterioration. Claims can often be invalidated by reports referring to long-term water ingress or other existing problems.

With London Property Services, you benefit from a detailed written report following successful investigations that clearly establishes the cause of the leak. With photo evidence to help support your claim and a clear distinction between storm damage and wear and tear, you can have full confidence in reaching out to your insurer. Should your roof leak fall outside your policy, our supportive team offers competitive pricing and flexible scheduling to help you get your roof leak repaired quickly and affordably.
