Roof leak investigation in Frogham, Hampshire
Roof leak investigations in Frogham from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Leaks at a dormer or roof window
- Brown rings on upstairs ceilings
- Wet patches high on an inside wall
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Protect furniture and flooring under the leak
- Tell us if there are tanks or pipes in the loft
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Make sure the loft is accessible
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and Premium includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that is not clear.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Air movement keeps condensation down, which is frequently mistaken for a leak. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
Roof leak investigations for homes and businesses in Frogham
Not every drip is a leak. In a badly ventilated roof space, condensation can form under the roof and drip, and the stains look much like a leak. Telling the two apart matters, because they need very different work. We look at the pattern of damp, the weather and the ventilation before reaching a view. We survey lead flashings, flat roof details and rooflights and dormers, and the problems we are asked to look at most are water coming in around a roof light or dormer and staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall.
In a village or hamlet like Frogham, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Why act early in Frogham
Guesswork repairs are a common reason leaks keep coming back. Because water travels, the real entry point may be somewhere else. We find the probable source before anyone starts work. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Why book with us
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Visits on any day of the week
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Common questions in Frogham
Is Frogham within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Frogham?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Frogham is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
How should I prepare for the leak investigation?
Make sure the loft can be reached. Gather any photos and notes about when it leaks, and tell us about past repairs. In the meantime, catch the water and keep it clear of lights and sockets.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Will you definitely find the leak?
Not always, and we’ll be honest about that. Some leaks hide well, particularly those that need wind-driven rain. If we can’t be sure, the report ranks the possible sources.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Frogham
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
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.
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Frogham, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, 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.
- You tell us where the water shows and when it appears.
- Inside, we check the damp area and the roof space above it.
- We check the likely entry points outside, such as flashings, valleys, chimneys and gutters.
- We use moisture detection, and thermal imaging where it is useful.
- We email a report with photographs, the likely entry point and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Roof leak investigations in Frogham: local notes
Historic houses like Breamore House, about 4 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Frogham goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hyde Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Signs you need a roof leak investigation in Frogham
Blocked gutters can look like a roof leak. Hidden gutters behind parapets cause the most trouble, since a blocked outlet sends water over the lining and into the building.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaks below a flat extension roof
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
- Staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall
- Leaks at a dormer or roof window
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of the Holy Ascension, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
