Roof leak investigations for homes and businesses in Little Ann
Our roof leak investigations cover Little Ann and the wider South East. We visit seven days a week. The investigation covers inside and out, from the stain to the likely entry points. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. If it is leaking right now, contain the water and keep it clear of electrics, then ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to arrange a visit. Common reasons to book are damp on a chimney breast and brown rings on upstairs ceilings, on rooflights and dormers, the roof space and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Little Ann, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
What you get is a clear record of the leaking roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

FAQs for Little Ann
Do you cover Little Ann?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Little Ann is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Little Ann is listed?
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. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.
Why is not the leak directly above the stain?
Rain that gets in will run along whatever it lands on. On a flat roof it can travel under the covering before it shows. Following that route is what our investigation does.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof upstands and outlets
The upturned edge of a flat roof covering keeps water out at walls. A low or cracked upstand is a common way in.
Parapet and box gutters
Linings, joints and outlets are inspected wherever it’s safe, and look for signs of past overflowing.
Wind, rain and roofs in Little Ann
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a building such as Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Protect furniture and flooring under the leak
- Photograph the stain each time it appears
- Mention earlier attempts to fix the leak
- Move stored items away from the hatch
Your report arrives by email. 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.
Check the loft after heavy rain, with care and a good torch. Look for drips, damp patches and stains on timbers. Photograph anything new.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Putting the leak right
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Plumbing leaks that look like roof leaks

- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Slate and tile slopes
- The roof space
- Lead flashings
- Chimney stacks
What we’re asked to look at in Little Ann
Some water in the loft isn’t rain at all. Moist air from bathrooms and kitchens condenses on the cold underside of the roof, especially where ventilation is poor. Drips from nails and damp underlay are typical signs.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Wet patches high on an inside wall
- Wet patches on loft insulation
- Damp underlay across a wide area
- Brown rings on upstairs ceilings
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Before booking anyone
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- When you will get the report
How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. Around Little Ann, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We help you choose the package that suits the leak.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect inside and out, starting from the stain.
- Moisture detection and thermal imaging are used where your package includes them and they help.
- The report explains the likely entry point and what needs attention.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Note where any stains or damp appear
