Roof leak investigation in Upper Froyle
We investigate roof leaks in Upper Froyle and across London and South East England. We visit on any day of the week. We look inside and out, at flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and flat roof details. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. If it’s leaking right now, contain the water and keep it clear of electrics, and then call 07833 053749 or send us an email to arrange a visit. Typical surveys look at water that shows only in certain storms and staining where a gutter or parapet meets the wall, across rooflights and dormers, flat roof details and valleys and parapet gutters.
Roofs in small places like Upper Froyle often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. 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.

Common questions in Upper Froyle
Do you cover Upper Froyle?
Yes, Upper Froyle is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property.
Will you come out to Upper Froyle?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Is thermal imaging part of a leak investigation?
It can, when the conditions are right. The best results come after a sunny day, on a dry roof with little wind. Damp areas can hold heat differently from dry ones. We always check what it shows with moisture readings.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Leaks and storm damage in Upper Froyle
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
If you look after a building such as Eggar's School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary of the Assumption, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

What else we do in Upper Froyle
How the survey changes by roof type
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.
Valleys
A valley leak can appear well away from the valley inside. We trace the route from the loft where there is safe access.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Upper Froyle
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Landlords and agents in Upper Froyle book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the leaking roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How big the roof is
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
Getting in touch
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
The survey, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes an hour or two, more where the leak is intermittent or the roof is large. Rural addresses near Upper Froyle 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.
- You get in touch with details of the leak and any photos.
- Inside, we check the damp area and the loft 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.
- Your report sets out where the water is most likely getting in, with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Honest limits
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Plumbing leaks that look like roof leaks
- Putting the leak right
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
