About our roof leak investigation in Corhampton
Flat roofs leak in their own ways. Splits, blisters, failed laps, worn upstands and blocked outlets are common causes. Standing water puts extra pressure on every weak point. We check both the covering and the room underneath. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are frequent sources of leaks. Felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, so age is part of the picture. Typical surveys look at leaks that appear only in driving rain and water marks that spread in wet weather, across flat roof details, lead flashings and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Corhampton, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
If any part of the leaking roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Other services in Corhampton
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and agents in Corhampton book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the leaking roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Roof by roof
Slate and tile slopes
‘Nail fatigue’ is a common cause of slipped slates. Even a single gap can let water in.
Parapet and box gutters
Hidden gutters run behind parapets or between roofs. When their outlets block, water rises over the lining and runs indoors.
Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Note the weather when the leak shows
- Don’t touch fittings that water is reaching
- Protect furniture and flooring under the leak
- Photograph the stain each time it appears
Once the work is done, hold on to the report. If the leak returns, it’s a useful record of what was found, which makes the next step quicker.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, ideally once the leaves have fallen. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet. Use a professional rather than climbing up yourself.
Corhampton questions
Is Corhampton in the area you cover?
Yes, Corhampton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Corhampton as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Corhampton?
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 as you book.
Can you find a leak when it is not raining?
Often, yes. Leaks leave clues, such as staining, damp timber and moisture in materials. Intermittent leaks can be harder, so photos and notes from when it leaks help a lot.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Is thermal imaging part of a leak investigation?
Thermal imaging is used where it is useful, and it is part of the Premium Survey. It picks up temperature patterns rather than water, so anything it suggests is checked with moisture readings.
What does the report include?
A photo-illustrated written report, covering the condition of the leaking roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, in order of urgency where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Wind, rain and roofs in Corhampton
About 4.4 miles north lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Corhampton has been built on. 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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often 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.
The streets around a church like Corhampton Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Do you need a roof leak investigation in Corhampton?
A gutter that overflows can soak a wall and mark the ceiling inside. Hidden gutters behind parapets cause the most trouble, since a blocked outlet sends water over the lining and into the building.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Damp patches next to the stack
- Water coming in around a roof light or dormer
- Brown rings on upstairs ceilings
- Leaks that appear only in driving rain
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Corhampton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We help you choose the package that suits the leak.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- We inspect inside and out, starting from the stain.
- Moisture detection and thermal imaging are used where your package includes them and they help.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
