Roof leak investigation in Crookham Village, Hampshire
Tracing where water is getting into your roof for Crookham Village and the rest of Hampshire. We survey seven days a week.

About our roof leak investigation in Crookham Village
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. Each of these is checked in turn and we follow where the evidence leads. Every chimney, dormer and roof light adds more joints to check. We check all of them, from each safe vantage point. We survey flat roof details, chimney stacks and the roof space, and people most often book us about ceiling stains that grow after rain and leaks that appear only in driving rain.
Somewhere as small as Crookham Village, 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. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What happens on the day

Somewhere like Crookham Village needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.

Wind, rain and roofs in Crookham Village
With Farnham Castle about 4.5 miles south-east, Crookham Village sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Anyone responsible for a site like All Saints Church of England Aided Junior School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
A leak at a flashing frequently shows some way from the joint. That is why we check the flashings near a stain, not just the one directly above.
Valleys
A valley takes the rain from both sides of the roof. Split lead, cracked linings or slipped tiles let water in.

What we’re asked to look at in Crookham Village
Flat roofs fail with age and wear. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and splits, blisters and lifting laps let water in. Upstands and outlets are common weak points.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damp walls below an overflowing gutter
- Stains around a skylight
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
- A leak that comes and goes with the weather
For landlords with property near Fleet station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What follow-up you get after the report
Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Crookham Village questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Crookham Village?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Crookham Village as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Crookham Village?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you always find the source?
Not every leak can be pinned down in a single visit. Most leave clues we can follow, but some only appear in certain weather. The report sets out what we found and the most likely routes.
Could my leak actually be condensation?
Many apparent leaks turn out to be condensation. A leak typically shows in one area and follows rain, while condensation is often spread out and worse in cold weather. The report explains which it looks like and what to do.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Guesswork repairs are a common reason leaks keep coming back. The real way in may be a metre or more away. We find the probable source before anyone starts work, so the repair is aimed at the right place. Older cottages and farmhouses around Crookham Village can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
