How a roof leak investigation works in Quidhampton
The aim is to find where the water is getting in and explain it. You get a written report with photos showing the likely entry point and the route the water is taking, and recommends what should be done. Whoever does the work then has a clear starting point. We find and report the source, while the repair is a separate matter. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, chimney stacks and flat roof details, and people most often book us about water dripping from rafters or underlay and wet patches high on an inside wall.
Roofs in small places like Quidhampton often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Quidhampton questions
How do I find out if my home in Quidhampton is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Quidhampton?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Quidhampton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
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.
Can you find a leak when it isn’t 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.
How do I book a survey in Quidhampton?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.

How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Quidhampton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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 start with what you’ve seen: where the stain is and when it gets worse.
- We look at the stain, the ceiling and the loft above it.
- Outside, we check every likely route in.
- Where it helps, we take moisture readings and use thermal imaging.
- We email a report with photographs, the likely entry point and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets in another room

Landlords and letting agents in Quidhampton book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the leaking roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
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. Do not go up yourself.
Why it is worth a survey now in Quidhampton
Water and electrics don’t mix. Keep away from any fitting that water is reaching. Then the source needs tracing. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Quidhampton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why book with us
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Prices that include VAT
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies

Roof leak investigations around Quidhampton
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For landlords with property near Overton station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Anyone responsible for a site like Overton Church of England Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Upstands seal the edge of a flat roof where it meets a wall. A low or cracked upstand is a common way in.
Parapet and box gutters
We check the linings, joints and outlets where we can see them safely.
