What we look for on each type of roof
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are looked at closely.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are looked at where visible.
New roof snagging in Leckford
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If that is passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. We are often asked to look into gutters or fascias damaged during the job and poorly finished verges, across replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers.
Some older homes in villages like Leckford are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Buying a home or a new roof in Leckford
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Around Leckford, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Common questions in Leckford
How do I find out if my home in Leckford is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Leckford?
Yes, Leckford is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The shape of the roof and its details
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The property’s address and postcode
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Leckford
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Leckford often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.

What else we do in Leckford
Leave it or get it looked at?
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. In a small place like Leckford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.
