Roof leak investigation in Micheldever Station: what you get
Moisture readings and thermal imaging are used where they’re useful. Moisture readings show which materials are wet. Thermal imaging shows temperature differences that can point to wet areas, not water itself, so we confirm what it suggests with moisture readings. Moisture detection is included in the Standard Survey, and thermal imaging in Premium. The best thermal results come after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We are often asked to look into damp on a chimney breast and damp walls below an overflowing gutter, on slate and tile slopes, lead flashings and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Micheldever Station, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. 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. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report records the leaking roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Make sure the loft is accessible
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Write down the wind direction and rain when it leaks
- Photograph the stain each time it appears
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see exactly where the problem is, so the repair is aimed at the cause.
Check the loft after heavy rain, with care and a good torch. Look for drips, damp patches and stains on timbers. Take photos of anything that changes.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.

What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. For a village or hamlet like Micheldever Station, 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 pick a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect inside and out, starting from the stain.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Micheldever Station
A leak that returns after a repair usually means the real source wasn’t found. A careful investigation looks at every likely route, not just the obvious one. That is often what breaks the cycle. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Micheldever Station, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

Roof leak investigations around Micheldever Station
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Each flat roof relies on its outlets to drain. A blocked outlet leaves water standing, which tests every joint. We check outlets and the covering around them.
Chimney stacks
Water that gets in at the top can show up lower down. Unused flues with open pots can let rain straight in.
Your questions about roof leak investigations in Micheldever Station
Is my home in Micheldever Station listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Micheldever Station within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Can you always find the source?
Not always, and we will be honest about that. Water can travel a long way, and some leaks only show in particular storms. If we cannot be sure, the report ranks the possible sources.
