Roof leak investigation in Bramshott, Hampshire
We carry out roof leak investigations in Bramshott and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Drips from nail tips in a cold loft
- Water marks that spread in wet weather
- Water coming in around a roof light or dormer
Useful tips for Bramshott property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Catch drips in a bucket and protect the floor
- Mention earlier attempts to fix the leak
- Make sure the loft is accessible
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes one in person. You can ask us about anything that is not clear.
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.
Roof leak investigation in Bramshott: what you get
Leaks tend to begin where one part of a roof meets another. Flashings at chimneys and walls, valleys, gutters, parapets and flat roof upstands and outlets are the usual suspects. We check each likely route and we follow where the evidence leads. Every chimney, dormer and roof light adds more joints to check. Each one is looked at from wherever it’s safe to see it. If you’ve noticed damp walls below an overflowing gutter and water that shows only in certain storms, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Bramshott, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Bramshott often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with your notes and photos of the leak.
- Inside, we look at the stain and the ceiling around 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 every safe viewpoint.
- You receive a report with the likely source, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day

Bramshott roofs and the weather
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For landlords with property near Liphook station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Liphook Infant School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
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. Do not go up yourself.
FAQs for Bramshott
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bramshott?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Bramshott is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Bramshott listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How long does the visit take?
The visit normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We will give you an idea of timing as you book.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What happens if roof problems are left?
If a leak has been ‘fixed’ before and has come back, the cause was probably missed. We look past the obvious spot and check each likely route. That’s often what breaks the cycle. For an older or listed building in a place like Bramshott, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

Roof by roof
Lead flashings
Wherever a roof meets a wall or stack, a flashing keeps rain out. Lifted, split or slipped lead is a common cause, and for flashings that have been patched with bitumen.
Chimney stacks
We look at the outside of the stack and the breast inside, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check.
