Roof leak investigation in Nately Scures: what you get
Leaks tend to begin where one part of a roof meets another. Common entry points include chimney and wall flashings, valleys, parapet and box gutters, and the upstands and outlets on flat roofs. Each of these is checked in turn and we follow where the evidence leads. Chimneys, dormers and roof lights each add joints of their own. Each one is looked at from wherever it is safe to see it. We survey lead flashings, rooflights and dormers and valleys and parapet gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are water coming in around a roof light or dormer and damp ceilings under a flat roof.
Somewhere as small as Nately Scures, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially 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.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. For a village or hamlet like Nately Scures, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You let us know where the water shows and when it appears.
- We check the stain, the ceiling and the loft above it.
- Outside, we check every likely route in.
- Moisture readings and thermal imaging are used where they help.
- You receive a written report with photos showing the likely source and what needs attention.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Nately Scures: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Nately Scures?
Yes, Nately Scures is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Nately Scures?
Yes, Nately Scures is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How much does a roof leak investigation cost in Nately Scures?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
Will you definitely find the leak?
Not every leak can be pinned down in a single visit. Many leave clear signs, but intermittent leaks that need particular weather can be harder. The report sets out what we found and the most likely routes.
Can you find a leak when it is not raining?
In most cases, yes. Damp materials can be found without rain. If a leak only appears in driving rain from one direction, we will tell you what we found and what’s most likely.
When to book a survey in Nately Scures
Every flat roof covering has a working life. Felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and splits, blisters and lifting laps let water in. Leaks often start at the edges, upstands and outlets.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- A leak that comes and goes with the weather
- Drips in the loft during heavy rain
- Drips from nail tips in a cold loft
- Damp ceilings under a flat roof
Landlords with a home close to Hook station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs

Wind, rain and roofs in Nately Scures
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. The wider area around Nately Scures has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 4.9 miles north-west. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St. Nicholas, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Anyone responsible for a site like Robert May's 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.

- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages

Roof leak investigation starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
