Wadwick Roof Leak Investigation
Find out the condition of the leaking roof at your property in Wadwick. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- A leak that comes and goes with the weather
- Stains around a skylight
- Condensation that looks like a leak
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
A lot can be seen from the ground. 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.
About our roof leak investigation in Wadwick
Our roof leak investigations cover Wadwick and the wider South East. We visit on any day of the week. The investigation covers inside and out, from the stain to the likely entry points. The findings come in a written report with photos. If it’s leaking right now, contain the water and keep it clear of electrics, and then phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. If you are worried about water marks that spread in wet weather and leaks at a dormer or roof window, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Wadwick face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What a roof leak investigation doesn’t cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Whether rotten timbers meet design loads
- Plumbing leaks that look like roof leaks
- A promise to find every leak on a single visit

Prices for roof leak investigations in Wadwick
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How big the roof is
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check.
Flat roof upstands and outlets
On a flat roof, a leak can show some distance from the split. Moisture readings and thermal imaging can help narrow it down where conditions suit.
Roof leak investigations in Wadwick: local notes
About 3.8 miles north lies Highclere Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Wadwick has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.
Wadwick is about 6 miles north-east of Andover, in Hampshire. If you are in Wadwick, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. You can also see our page for Reading.

Your questions about roof leak investigations in Wadwick
Do you cover Wadwick?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wadwick?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Does the investigation include the repair?
This service finds and reports the cause, and the repair is separate. With the report, a roofer knows exactly where to look.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Could my leak actually be condensation?
It is a common question. A leak typically shows in one area and follows rain, while condensation is frequently widespread and worst on cold days. We tell you which it is most likely to be.

When to book a survey in Wadwick
A gutter that overflows can soak a wall and mark the ceiling inside. Parapet and box gutters are the worst for this, since a blocked outlet sends water over the lining and into the building.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Water marks that spread in wet weather
- Damp ceilings under a flat roof
- Water coming in around a roof light or dormer
- Damp on a chimney breast
If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Before you book anyone
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What happens after the report arrives
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Wadwick needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You get in touch with details of the leak and any photos.
- Inside, we check the damp area and the roof space above it.
- We check the likely entry points outside, such as flashings, valleys, chimneys and gutters.
- We use moisture detection, and thermal imaging where it is useful.
- We email a report with photos, the likely entry point and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Let us know about parking near the property
