What a roof leak investigation does not cover
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- Leaks from plumbing, tanks or pipework rather than the roof
- Carrying out the fix

About our roof leak investigation in Murrell Green
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, along with any photos you’ve taken. Even on a dry day, a leak normally leaves clues: stained timbers, tide marks and damp underlay. Moisture readings show where materials are still wet. If you’ve noticed damp walls below an overflowing gutter and damp on a chimney breast, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on slate and tile slopes, flat roof details and valleys and parapet gutters alike.
For a small place like Murrell Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Your questions about roof leak investigations in Murrell Green
Is Murrell Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Murrell Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Murrell Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
What should I do before you arrive?
Check the loft can be reached. Have any photos of the leak ready, plus details of past repairs. In the meantime, catch the water and keep it clear of lights and sockets.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Damp loft insulation loses much of its value. A slow leak can soak it for months before a stain appears. The sooner the cause is found, the less needs replacing. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Murrell Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Why us?
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- An independent look at the roof
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Surveys seven days a week

Wind, rain and roofs in Murrell Green
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 4.9 miles north-west lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Murrell Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St John the Evangelist, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Anyone responsible for a site like Hook Junior School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Murrell Green is about 4 miles west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Murrell Green is one of many places we visit across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. We also survey roofs in Reading.
We survey roofs across the RG27 postcode area for roof leak investigations. If you’re just outside Murrell Green, we cover West Green (1 mile north-east), Hook (1 mile west), Phoenix Green (1 mile east), Winchfield (1 mile east) and Hook Common (2 miles south-west).

Landmarks near Murrell Green
For rail, the closest station is Winchfield station, roughly 1.3 miles east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Odiham Castle (2.2 miles south-west) and Fleet Community Hospital (3.8 miles east). The countryside around Murrell Green includes Fleet Pond Nature Reserve and Tundry Hill.
Different roofs, different checks
Parapet and box gutters
Linings, joints and outlets are inspected wherever it is safe, and look for signs of past overflowing.
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check.
Do you need a roof leak investigation in Murrell Green?
A gutter that overflows can soak a wall and mark the ceiling inside. Hidden gutters behind parapets cause the most trouble, since a blocked outlet sends water over the lining and into the building.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- A leak that comes and goes with the weather
- Leaks below a flat extension roof
- Wet patches on loft insulation
- Water coming in around a roof light or dormer
If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.

What else we do in Murrell Green
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Murrell Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You pick a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
