What affects the cost of roof leak investigations
When we price a survey, we consider:
- House, block, shop or office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The size of the roof
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you contact us
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Roof leak investigation in Froxfield Green
Water is good at hiding where it gets in. It can run along a rafter, a batten or the underlay before it drips, so a ceiling stain is rarely directly below the cause. We follow it back towards where it starts. Patching the spot above the stain often misses the real cause. Tracing the route first means any work can be aimed at the right place. We are often asked to look into brown rings on upstairs ceilings and leaks below a flat extension roof, across lead flashings, slate and tile slopes and rooflights and dormers.
Many homes in small places like Froxfield Green face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. 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.
If any part of the leaking roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Questions from Froxfield Green
Is Froxfield Green in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Froxfield Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Froxfield Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you definitely find the leak?
Not every leak can be pinned down in a single visit. Many leave clear signs, but intermittent leaks that need particular weather can be harder. The report sets out what we found and the most likely routes.
What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Leaks that only appear in weather we cannot recreate
- What’s under the covering or behind the plaster
- The repair itself (the investigation finds and reports the cause)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before booking. What our survey covers.

Useful tips for Froxfield Green property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Catch drips in a bucket and protect the floor
- Tell us about any past repairs to the roof
- Keep water away from lights and sockets
If there are several possible sources, we list them in order of likelihood. We say which items need prompt attention, so you know what to deal with first.
After a downpour, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for water marks, wet underlay and damp wood. Take photos of anything that changes.
The survey, step by step
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 applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. For a village or hamlet like Froxfield Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- You tell us where the water appears, when, and what the weather was doing.
- Inside, we check the stain and the ceiling around it.
- In the loft, we follow any signs of water back towards the roof.
- Outside, we check flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details from every safe viewpoint.
- We email a written report showing where the water most likely gets in.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Froxfield Green roofs and the weather
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
Take a building like Froxfield Church of England Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter on the Green, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
