Nashes Green Roof Leak Investigation
Roof leak investigations around Nashes Green, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Staining around the chimney inside
- Damp walls below an overflowing gutter
- Water through the ceiling under a flat roof
The survey, step by step
The visit typically 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 about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Nashes Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with what you’ve seen: where the stain is and when it gets worse.
- We check the stain, the ceiling and the loft above it.
- Likely entry points outside are looked at, from flashings and valleys to gutters and outlets.
- Where it helps, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- Your report sets out where the water is most likely getting in, with photos and recommendations.

How a roof leak investigation works in Nashes Green
Flat roofs leak in their own ways. Splits, blisters, failed laps, worn upstands and blocked outlets are common causes. Standing water puts extra pressure on every weak point. We check the roof surface and the ceiling below. Leaks under flat extension, garage and dormer roofs are common. An ageing felt roof is a frequent culprit. Typical surveys look at a leak that comes and goes with the weather and staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall, on rooflights and dormers, the roof space and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Nashes Green often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Where we cannot see part of the leaking roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roof leak investigations in Nashes Green: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 3.3 miles south lies Hall Place, a reminder of how long the area around Nashes Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St. Mary, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you let a flat or house near Alton station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof upstands and outlets
The upturned edge of a flat roof covering keeps water out at walls. If it is too low, cracked or poorly dressed, water gets behind it.
Chimney stacks
We check the outside of the stack and the breast inside, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection.
What a roof leak investigation does not cover
Every survey has limits, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Putting the leak right
- What’s under the covering or behind the plaster
- Water from pipes, tanks or heating systems
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Lead flashings
- Rooflights and dormers
- Flat roof details
- Slate and tile slopes
- The roof space
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Chimney stacks
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
