The survey, step by step

Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Micheldever can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.

  1. We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
  2. We inspect as far as safe access allows.
  3. We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
  4. We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
  5. We send a written report you can pass on.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know where we can park nearby
  • Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
  • Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Getting a price

A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

New roof snagging in Micheldever

We carry out new roof snagging in Micheldever and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed underlay at the eaves left exposed and damage to other parts of the building, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.

Being in a small place like Micheldever makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.

How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Micheldever homes and their roofs

Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.

For landlords with property near Micheldever station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Why get it checked now?

Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Around Micheldever, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

Why book with us

  • Clear package prices, with VAT included
  • More than 20 years surveying roofs
  • A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
  • Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Common roof problems in Micheldever

Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Fiddly details are frequently where things go wrong, particularly when the weather is against them.

Typical things we are asked to look at include:

  • Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
  • Underlay not dressed into the gutter
  • Signs of condensation in the loft space
  • Gutters blocked by building debris

The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Before booking anyone

  • What experience they bring
  • Whether the inside of the roof is included
  • What exactly goes into their report
  • Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

Useful tips for Micheldever property owners

Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:

  • Look for new stains after a downpour
  • Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
  • Raise snags in writing with your roofer
  • Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage

Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.

Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.

What this survey can’t tell you

Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:

  • Estimates of what fixes will cost
  • Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
  • Parts of the roof we cannot see safely

If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

Roof types and parts we check

  • Replacement roofs
  • New-build homes
  • Flashings and valleys
  • New flat roofs
  • Loft conversions and dormers
  • Ridges and verges

Landlords, agents and block managers in Micheldever

Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.

Common questions in Micheldever

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Micheldever?

Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.

Is Micheldever within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.

Do you need to get into the loft?

Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.

How do I arrange new roof snagging in Micheldever?

To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.

Will you go up on the roof?

Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.

Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?

Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.

How long have you been surveying roofs?

We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
