Furzeley Corner: your questions answered
Will you come out to Furzeley Corner?
Yes, Furzeley Corner is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is the coastal weather around Furzeley Corner hard on roofs?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Is the repair included in the leak investigation?
This service finds and reports the cause, not to carry out the repair. The report gives any roofer a clear brief.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
How much does a roof leak investigation cost in Furzeley Corner?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
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 and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How a roof leak investigation works in Furzeley Corner
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. We check each likely route and follow the evidence. Chimneys, dormers and roof lights each add joints of their own. We look at all of them, from each safe vantage point. If you’ve noticed wet patches high on an inside wall and water marks that spread in wet weather, we can find out what’s behind it.
Roofs in small places like Furzeley Corner 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.
Where we can’t see part of the leaking roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Why get it checked now?
Lingering damp encourages mould on ceilings and walls. Once mould takes hold, it is harder to clear. Stopping the water is the first step. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Furzeley Corner, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies

A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
What a roof leak investigation looks like in Furzeley Corner
Furzeley Corner is within about 3 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Take a building like Denmead Junior School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Let us know what has already been tried
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look
- Keep a photo record of the damp patch
Where we find more than one possible route, we say which is most likely and why. We say which items need prompt attention, so you know what to deal with first.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles and debris on the ground are signs to act on. Small faults dealt with quickly rarely become leaks.
Do you need a roof leak investigation in Furzeley Corner?
A roof valley collects the rain from two slopes. Split linings, slipped valley tiles or debris can send that water under the coverings. The stain may appear well away from the valley itself.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Water that shows only in certain storms
- Staining around the chimney inside
- Staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall
- Water marks that spread in wet weather
For landlords with property near Cosham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How soon the report will arrive
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. In a hamlet or village like Furzeley Corner, 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 pick a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- The investigation works from the stain back to the roof.
- Where it’s useful and included, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- The report explains the likely entry point and what needs attention.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
