How a roof survey works in PO15
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. We survey lead flashings, natural slate and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are torn or sagging underlay and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings.
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
What affects the price in PO15
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Near you in Whiteley

Roof surveys across PO15: local notes
From Fareham, Locks Heath and Whiteley to smaller places, people across PO15 use a roof survey to plan ahead. A report helps you sort small faults before they let water in.
Across London and the South East, older homes frequently have slate or clay tiles, while many later ones have concrete tiles. That variety shapes every survey in PO15. Some of PO15 sits close to the sea, so wind can decide whether a drone flies or a roof can be reached safely. If conditions are not right, the visit moves to a calmer day.
Whiteley: If you own a rental within reach of Swanwick station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Whiteley Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, which makes later changes easy to spot.
Before booking any surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts with the stack outside. We look for the likely route in.
Natural slate
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs. Widespread slipping normally points to corroded nails, and we say how widespread it looks.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Prices for roof surveys in PO15
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- House, block, shop or office
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What to tell us when you get in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- File the report with your home documents
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Common questions in PO15
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Is PO15 in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes PO15.
How do I arrange a roof survey in PO15?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we’ll say so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
