Roof leak investigations for homes and businesses in Fisher's Pond
Most roof leaks start at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. 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 follow the evidence. Every chimney, dormer and roof light adds more joints to check. We look at all of them, from every safe vantage point. We’re often asked to look into stains around a skylight and water that shows only in certain storms, on the roof space, rooflights and dormers and lead flashings.
Roofs in small places like Fisher's Pond 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, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Fisher's Pond
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.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Fisher's Pond roofs and the weather
South Stoneham House, about 4.6 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Fisher's Pond. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
The streets around a church like Church of the Holy Trinity are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Eastleigh station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you look after a building such as Colden Common Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Fisher's Pond is about 2 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Fisher's Pond is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

Why act early in Fisher's Pond
Guesswork repairs are a common reason leaks keep coming back. The real way in may be a metre or more away. An investigation finds the likely cause first. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Fisher's Pond, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Read what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes between one and two hours, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. Somewhere as small as Fisher's Pond, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know where the water appears, when, and what the weather was doing.
- We examine the damp area and the rooms near it.
- In the loft, we follow any signs of water back towards the roof.
- We inspect the likely entry points outside, from the ground, windows and the roof where safe.
- You receive a report with the likely source, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Your questions about roof leak investigations in Fisher's Pond
Is Fisher's Pond within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fisher's Pond?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
