Conford Roof Leak Investigation
Not sure what state the leaking roof is in? You can book a roof leak investigation in Conford and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Water marks that spread in wet weather
- Wet patches on loft insulation
- Damp patches next to the stack
When to book a survey in Conford
Flat roofs fail with age and wear. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and as it ages it splits, blisters and opens at the laps. Upstands and outlets are common weak points.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damp on a chimney breast
- Brown rings on upstairs ceilings
- Leaks below a flat extension roof
- Drips from nail tips in a cold loft
For landlords with property near Liphook station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What experience they bring
- Which limits apply to the survey
How a roof leak investigation works in Conford
Some leaks only appear in certain weather. Wind-driven rain, an overflowing gutter or snow melt may be what triggers it. Telling us when it happens helps a lot and so do photos. Even on a dry day, a leak typically leaves clues: stained timbers, tide marks and damp underlay. Moisture detection shows which materials are still damp. If you are worried about wet patches on loft insulation and leaks below a flat extension roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Conford makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the leaking roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. In a small place like Conford, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with your notes and photos of the leak.
- We examine the damp area and the rooms near it.
- From the loft space, we trace the water’s route where there’s safe access.
- Outside, we check flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details from every safe vantage point.
- You receive a report with the likely source, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof upstands and outlets
On a flat roof, a leak can show some distance from the split. Where conditions allow, moisture readings and thermal imaging help narrow it down.
Parapet and box gutters
Some older terraces have a butterfly roof with a valley gutter in the middle. Problems there often show in the rooms on the top floor.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Take dated photos of the leak
- Mention any plumbing above the damp area
Keep the report after the work is done. If water appears again, it shows what was found before.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. Blocked outlets on parapet and flat roofs cause many leaks. Leave the clearing to someone with the right equipment.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Conford questions
How do I find out if my home in Conford is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Conford?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How long will you be at the property?
The visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
What’s in the survey report?
Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the leaking roof, any defects and our recommendations. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
How soon will I get the report?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Wind, rain and roofs in Conford
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so the council is the place to ask. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Liphook Infant School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
