What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Mullenspond needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We help you choose the package that suits the leak.
- We agree a date, including weekends.
- The investigation works from the stain back to the roof.
- Moisture detection and thermal imaging are used where your package includes them and they help.
- You get photos, the likely cause and clear recommendations.

Advice
Roof leak investigations for homes and businesses in Mullenspond
Roof leaks rarely show up where you’d expect. Water frequently travels along timbers or underlay before it finds a way down, so a ceiling stain is rarely directly below the cause. We follow it back towards where it starts, one likely route at a time. Patching the spot above the stain frequently misses the real cause. Finding the route first lets the repair go where it is needed. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, flat roof details and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ceiling stains that grow after rain and leaks below a flat extension roof.
Many homes in small places like Mullenspond face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Mullenspond questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mullenspond?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Mullenspond within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.
Is thermal imaging part of a leak investigation?
It can, when the conditions are right. The best results come after a sunny day, on a dry roof with little wind. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, which can show up on the image. We always check what it shows with moisture readings.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Lead flashings seal the joints at chimneys, walls and dormers. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped, and for flashings that have been patched with bitumen.
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Upstands seal the edge of a flat roof where it meets a wall. If it’s too low, cracked or poorly dressed, water gets behind it.
Honest limits
A survey is a careful look at the leaking roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- Carrying out the fix
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Whether rotten timbers meet design loads
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

What a roof leak investigation looks like in Mullenspond
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. 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 the council is the place to ask.
If you look after 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. The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

What else we do in Mullenspond
Why it is worth a survey now in Mullenspond
Lingering damp encourages mould on ceilings and walls. It’s unpleasant, and it’s harder to deal with once established. Stopping the water is the first step. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Mullenspond, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why book us in Mullenspond
- Package prices that include VAT
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

Do you need a roof leak investigation in Mullenspond?
Blocked gutters can look like a roof leak. Parapet and box gutters are the worst for this, because when they block, water backs up and runs inside.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Wet patches on loft insulation
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
- Condensation that looks like a leak
- Water that shows only in certain storms
Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
