Roof leak investigation in Redenham, Hampshire
Tracing where water is getting into your roof around Redenham, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Water coming in around a roof light or dormer
- Wet patches on loft insulation
- Ceiling stains that grow after rain
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Mention earlier attempts to fix the leak
- Do not climb onto the roof to look
- Check the loft is accessible
- Mention any plumbing above the damp area
The report gives whoever carries out the work a clear starting point. The photos show the defects and where they are, so the repair is aimed at the cause.
Look at the roof from ground level after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles and debris on the ground are signs to act on. Small faults dealt with quickly rarely become leaks.
Roof leak investigation in Redenham
Older homes have more places for water to get in. Worn lead, tired valley linings and blocked parapet outlets are frequent causes. If your home has a butterfly roof, the central valley gutter is a common culprit. We check parapets, valleys and flashings from every safe vantage point. The findings are recorded with photos. We’re often asked to look into water through the ceiling under a flat roof and leaks at a dormer or roof window, across rooflights and dormers, the roof space and flat roof details.
Roofs in small places like Redenham 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, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Do you need a roof leak investigation in Redenham?
Slipped or missing slates and tiles let rain reach the underlay. Old bitumen felt may cope for a while, but it tears and sags with age, and very old roofs may have no underlay at all. On slate roofs, slipping is frequently caused by corroded nails.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Damp walls below an overflowing gutter
- Drips in the loft during heavy rain
- Brown rings on upstairs ceilings
- Leaks below a flat extension roof
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter in the Wood, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Redenham roofs and the weather
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you look after a building such as Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
Redenham is about 4 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Redenham gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a proper look at everything that’s safely in view, photos and a clear written report. Our Hampshire coverage includes Redenham. You can also see our page for Southampton.

FAQs for Redenham
Do you cover Redenham?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Redenham within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How do I arrange a roof leak investigation in Redenham?

Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?

Can thermal imaging help find my roof leak?
We use thermal imaging where it helps, and it is included in our Premium Survey. It picks up temperature patterns rather than water, so we confirm its findings with moisture readings.
Why get it checked now?
If a leak has been ‘fixed’ before and has come back, the cause was probably missed. A careful investigation looks at every likely route, not just the obvious one. It gives the next repair a far better chance. In a place like Redenham, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
A stack has several possible ways in for rain. We check each one as far as we can safely see, and look for damp on the breast inside.
Lead flashings
Mortar fillets are sometimes used instead of lead. They crack as the roof and wall move, letting rain run behind the joint.
How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. For a village or hamlet like Redenham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with your notes and photos of the leak.
- Inside, we check the stain and the ceiling around it.
- From the loft space, we trace the water’s route where there’s safe access.
- We inspect the likely entry points outside, from ground level, windows and the roof where safe.
- We email a written report showing where the water most likely gets in.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
