About our roof leak investigation in Monxton
Some leaks only appear in certain weather. Wind-driven rain, an overflowing gutter or snow melt may be what triggers it. Telling us when it happens helps a lot and so do photos. We look for the clues it leaves behind, such as tide marks, stained timbers and damp underlay. Moisture readings show where materials are still wet. We survey the roof space, flat roof details and valleys and parapet gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are damp underlay across a wide area and water marks that spread in wet weather.
In a village or hamlet like Monxton, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. 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.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Why act early in Monxton
Guesswork repairs are a common reason leaks keep coming back. The real way in may be a metre or more away. We find the probable source before anyone starts work, so the repair is aimed at the right place. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Monxton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.

The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Monxton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You pick a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- We inspect inside and out, starting from the stain.
- Where it is useful and included, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

What affects the price in Monxton
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Put a bucket under the drip and move valuables
- Photograph the stain each time it appears
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look
- Don’t touch fittings that water is reaching
Once the work is done, hold on to the report. If the leak returns, it is a useful record of what was found.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Air movement keeps condensation down, which is frequently mistaken for a leak. Make sure insulation does not block airflow at the eaves.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Roof leak investigations in Monxton: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so check with the council. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Take a building like Amport Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Common questions in Monxton
Will you come out to Monxton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is Monxton in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Monxton as anywhere else.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can a leak be traced on a dry day?
In most cases, yes. Moisture detection shows where materials are damp even on a dry day. For leaks that only happen in certain storms, we report the most likely routes.
Can thermal imaging help find my roof leak?
Where conditions suit, it can. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, which can show up on the image. Its findings are confirmed with a moisture check.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Water that gets in at the top can show up lower down. Open, unused pots let rain fall down the flue.
Parapet and box gutters
We check the linings, joints and outlets where we can see them safely, and look for signs of past overflowing.
