Roof leak investigation in Blendworth: what you get
Our job is to find the likely source and tell you. You get a report with photographs showing the likely entry point and the route the water is taking, plus recommendations on what needs attention. It gives any roofer a clear brief. The investigation finds and explains the cause, and the repair itself is a separate job. If you’re worried about condensation that looks like a leak and wet patches high on an inside wall, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Blendworth, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Photograph the stain each time it appears
- Tell us if there are tanks or pipes in the loft
- Check the loft is accessible
- Catch drips in a bucket and protect the floor
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see exactly where the problem is, so the repair is aimed at the cause.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, ideally once the leaves have fallen. Blocked outlets on parapet and flat roofs cause many leaks. Use a professional rather than climbing up yourself.
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- A promise to find every leak on a single visit
- Water from pipes, tanks or heating systems
- Carrying out the fix

FAQs for Blendworth
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Blendworth?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Blendworth within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. Around Blendworth, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with your notes and photos of the leak.
- We examine the damp area and the rooms near it.
- In the loft, we follow any signs of water back towards the roof.
- Outside, we check flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details from each safe vantage point.
- We email a written report showing where the water most likely gets in.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
What a roof leak investigation looks like in Blendworth
Blendworth is within about 5 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can. Historic houses such as Uppark, about 4.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Blendworth goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Horndean Church of England Junior School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you own a rental within reach of Rowlands Castle station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

What else we do in Blendworth
Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Leaves and moss build up in valleys and hold water back. In heavy rain, it can spill under the edges of the slates or tiles.
Lead flashings
Some roofs have mortar where you’d expect lead. Fillets crack and pull away over time, letting rain run behind the joint.
