Wind, rain and roofs in Blashford
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Avon Tyrrell House, about 4.7 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Blashford. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary and All Saints, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you look after a building such as Poulner Junior School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Blashford is in Hampshire. Whether the building in Blashford is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed. Across Hampshire, we cover Blashford. Southampton is in our area too.

Roof leak investigations for homes and businesses in Blashford
Not every drip is a leak. Condensation in a cold, poorly ventilated loft can drip from nails and timbers, and the stains look much like a leak. Telling the two apart matters, since the cure for one will not solve the other. The pattern of the damp, the ventilation and the timing all help us decide. If you’ve noticed damp ceilings under a flat roof and a leak that comes and goes with the weather, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roof details, rooflights and dormers and chimney stacks alike.
For a small place like Blashford, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the leaking roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Blashford: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Blashford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is Blashford in the area you cover?
Yes, Blashford is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How should I prepare for the leak investigation?
Keep a note of when it leaks, and take photos. Clear access to the loft. If water is near any fittings, have an electrician check them.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Carrying out the fix
- Plumbing leaks that look like roof leaks
- Leaks that only appear in weather we cannot recreate

Why act early in Blashford
A small drip today can be a bigger leak after the next storm. Wind lifts loose slates further and gaps widen. An investigation now gives you time to plan the work. For an older or listed building in a place like Blashford, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the leaking roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Blashford, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You get in touch with details of the leak and any photos.
- The visit starts indoors, at the stain and in the loft.
- Outside, we look at every likely route in.
- Moisture readings and thermal imaging are used where they help.
- Your report sets out where the water is most likely getting in, with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Protect furniture and flooring under the leak
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Don’t touch fittings that water is reaching
- Write down the wind direction and rain when it leaks
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes one in person. It’s a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Air movement keeps condensation down, and condensation is a common false alarm. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.

Checking the roof from the ground
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
