How a roof leak investigation works in Easton
Leaks tend to begin where one part of a roof meets another. Common entry points include chimney and wall flashings, valleys, parapet and box gutters, and the upstands and outlets on flat roofs. Each of these is checked in turn and follow the evidence. Every chimney, dormer and roof light adds more joints to check. We check all of them, from each safe vantage point. If you are worried about water marks that spread in wet weather and wet patches on loft insulation, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Easton frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the leaking roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak rarely stays small. Wet timbers start to decay, plaster softens and insulation stops working. Finding the source early keeps the damage down. Around Easton, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

What we’re asked to look at in Easton
Every flat roof covering has a working life. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and splits, blisters and lifting laps let water in. Leaks frequently start at the edges, upstands and outlets.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Drips from nail tips in a cold loft
- A leak that comes and goes with the weather
- Wet patches on loft insulation
- Wet patches high on an inside wall
If you look after a building like Peter Symonds College, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
Tips that help
Getting the most from a roof leak investigation starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Record whether it leaks in every downpour or only some
- Keep water away from lights and sockets
- Photograph the stain each time it appears
We email the report to you, with photographs of what we found. It explains the likely entry point, the route the water takes and our recommendations. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Plan a roof survey every few years. They’re where most leaks start, and catching wear early keeps water out.

To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photos, covering the condition of the leaking roof, the defects we found and what we recommend. 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.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Easton
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Leaks and storm damage in Easton
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

How it works
When we arrive, 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 the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. Rural addresses near Easton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
