Spanish Green Roof Leak Investigation
A careful look at the leaking roof at your property in Spanish Green, with photos and a written report.
- Stains around a skylight
- Drips from nail tips in a cold loft
- Water dripping from rafters or underlay
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
How a roof leak investigation works in Spanish Green
We use moisture detection and thermal imaging where they help. Moisture detection confirms where timbers, plaster or insulation are damp. Thermal imaging shows temperature differences that can point to wet areas, not water itself, so its findings are checked with moisture readings. Moisture detection is included in the Standard Survey, and thermal imaging in Premium. The best thermal results come after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If you’ve noticed staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall and water that shows only in certain storms, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, flat roof details and chimney stacks alike.
Being in a small place like Spanish Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report records the leaking roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a roof leak investigation starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Take dated photos of the leak
- Tell us if there are tanks or pipes in the loft
- Catch drips in a bucket and protect the floor
- Record whether it leaks in every downpour or only some
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see exactly where the problem is, so the repair is aimed at the cause.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Pieces of slate or tile in the garden mean something has moved. Prompt repairs stop gaps turning into leaks.
What a roof leak investigation looks like in Spanish Green
The wider area around Spanish Green has a long history of building, with Stratfield Saye House about 1.8 miles north. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Take a building like Daneshill School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you own a rental within reach of Bramley (Hants) station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Spanish Green is about 4 miles north-west of Hook, in Hampshire. Bookings from Spanish Green are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Spanish Green is one of the places in Hampshire we cover. We also survey roofs in Reading.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Spanish Green
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
Different roofs, different checks
Parapet and box gutters
Some older terraces have a butterfly roof with a valley gutter in the middle. Problems there often show in the rooms on the top floor.
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.

Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Spanish Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
