Questions from Boorley Green
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Boorley Green, take more of a battering?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Will you come out to Boorley Green?
Yes. Boorley Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Does the investigation include the repair?
This service finds and reports the cause, and the repair is separate. With the report, a roofer knows exactly where to look.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
About our roof leak investigation in Boorley Green
A leak that comes and goes can be the hardest to pin down. Wind-driven rain, an overflowing gutter or snow melt may be what triggers it. Notes on when it leaks, and what the weather was doing, help us, along with any photos you’ve taken. We look for the clues it leaves behind, such as tide marks, stained timbers and damp underlay. Moisture readings show where materials are still wet. Common reasons to book are leaks that appear only in driving rain and water dripping from rafters or underlay, on slate and tile slopes, the roof space and rooflights and dormers.
Older cottages and houses around Boorley Green may have roofs with little or no underlay. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are frequently the first clue.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the leaking roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a survey in Boorley Green, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You pick a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect inside and out, starting from the stain.
- Where it is useful and included, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Damp loft insulation loses much of its value. Insulation can soak up water quietly before anything shows below. The sooner the cause is found, the less needs replacing. Blocked gutters on homes around Boorley Green overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Roof leak investigations in Boorley Green: local notes
Boorley Green is within about 5 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. With South Stoneham House about 4.3 miles west, Boorley Green sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Berrywood Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Take an older house close to St Luke's Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you own a rental within reach of Hedge End station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Boorley Green is about 1 mile north-east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. We cover Boorley Green and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and the South East. Boorley Green is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for roof leak investigations.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Let us know about any past repairs to the roof
- Have an electrician check any wet fittings
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Note the weather when the leak shows
Your report arrives by email, with photographs of what we found. It sets out where we believe the water is getting in, how it’s travelling and what needs attention. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles and debris on the ground are signs to act on. Small faults dealt with quickly rarely become leaks.
What affects the price in Boorley Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- House, block, shop or office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
