Leaks and storm damage in Amport
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you look after a building such as Amport Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

About our roof leak investigation in Amport
Our roof leak investigations cover Amport and the wider South East. We visit on weekdays and at weekends. The investigation covers inside and out, from the stain to the likely entry points. The findings come in a written report with photos. If water is coming in now, catch it in a bucket and keep it away from lights and sockets, and then ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to arrange a visit. Common reasons to book are water marks that spread in wet weather and damp ceilings under a flat roof, across rooflights and dormers, the roof space and lead flashings.
Being in a small place like Amport makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Around Amport, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We help you choose the package that suits the leak.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- The investigation works from the stain back to the roof.
- Moisture detection and thermal imaging are used where your package includes them and they help.
- The report explains the likely entry point and what needs attention.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Some roofs have mortar where you’d expect lead. Fillets crack and pull away over time, and water runs down behind them.
Chimney stacks
We look at the outside of the stack and the breast inside, and it is not a flue or gas safety check.
Amport questions
Is Amport in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Amport as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Amport?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Can you find a leak when it is not raining?
In most cases, yes. Moisture detection shows where materials are damp even on a dry day. If a leak only appears in driving rain from one direction, we will tell you what we found and what’s most likely.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Could my leak actually be condensation?
The two can look alike. Widespread damp on the underside of the roof in cold weather, with blocked vents, suggests condensation. We check the pattern of damp and the ventilation, then say which is most likely.
Why it is worth a survey now in Amport
Damp in a ceiling or loft can lead to mould. It is unpleasant, and it is harder to deal with once established. Finding the leak comes first. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

What this survey cannot tell you
