Roof leak investigation in Tourner Bury
Moisture readings and thermal imaging are used where they’re useful. 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. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, on a dry roof with little wind. We survey flat roof details, lead flashings and slate and tile slopes, and people most frequently book us about wet patches on loft insulation and wet patches high on an inside wall.
Somewhere as small as Tourner Bury, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
What you get is a clear record of the leaking roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

Why get it checked now?
Water damage grows the longer it’s left. Wet timbers start to decay, plaster softens and insulation stops working. Finding the source early keeps the damage down. Around Tourner Bury, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Tourner Bury, a postcode does not 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.
- You tell us where the water shows and when it appears.
- Inside, we check the damp area and the roof space above it.
- Likely entry points outside are looked at, from flashings and valleys to gutters and outlets.
- We use moisture detection, and thermal imaging where it’s useful.
- We email a report with photographs, the likely entry point and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit

What we look for on each type of roof
Parapet and box gutters
We check the linings, joints and outlets where we can see them safely, and look for signs of past overflowing.
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Upstands seal the edge of a flat roof where it meets a wall. If it’s too low, cracked or poorly dressed, water gets behind it.
Roof leak investigations around Tourner Bury
Tourner Bury is within about 1 mile of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Warblington Castle lies about 3.5 miles north, so building around Tourner Bury goes back a long way. Leaks in period homes nearby frequently come from lead work and valleys that have been patched before. For landlords with property near Warblington station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Anyone responsible for a site like Mengham Junior School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

What affects the cost of roof leak investigations

Useful tips for Tourner Bury property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Mention any plumbing above the damp area
- Make sure the loft is accessible
- Mention earlier attempts to fix the leak
- Have an electrician check any wet fittings
If there are several possible sources, we list them in order of likelihood. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Have flashings and flat roofs looked at every few years. Flashings, valleys and flat roof details are frequent weak points, and wear is easier to deal with before water gets in.
