How a roof leak investigation works in Passfield
The aim is to find where the water is getting in and explain it. The report shows, with photos, where we believe the water gets in and how it travels, and recommends what should be done. It gives any roofer a clear brief. The investigation finds and explains the cause, and the repair itself is a separate job. If you’ve noticed damp walls below an overflowing gutter and drips in the loft during heavy rain, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Passfield frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, though a hard-to-trace leak can take longer. In a hamlet or village like Passfield, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets in another room
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Surveys for landlords and agents in Passfield
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the leaking roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Wind, rain and roofs in Passfield
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take a building like Mill Chase Academy: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

What affects the price in Passfield
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- House, block, shop or office
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The size of the roof
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Common questions in Passfield
Is Passfield within the area you cover?
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 you book.
How do I find out if my home in Passfield is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll get the report by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
How should I prepare for the leak investigation?
Clear the loft hatch so we can get into the roof space. 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.
Useful tips for Passfield property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Don’t touch fittings that water is reaching
- Check whether pipes or tanks run near the stain
- Catch drips in a bucket and protect the floor
- Check the loft is accessible
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and Premium includes an in-person consultation. It’s a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. Blocked outlets on parapet and flat roofs cause many leaks. Use a professional rather than climbing up yourself.
How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
Leaves and moss build up in valleys and hold water back. In heavy rain, it can spill under the edges of the slates or tiles.
Slate and tile slopes
‘Nail fatigue’ is a common cause of slipped slates. One slipped slate can be enough to cause a leak, especially in driving rain.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
