How a roof survey works in PO41
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. Typical surveys look at condensation or damp timbers in the loft and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, across chimney stacks, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys.
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.

What’s near Yarmouth
Around Yarmouth, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Bugle Hotel, St. James' Church and Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School and the streets around them. Yarmouth’s nearest station is Lymington Pier station, about 3.9 miles north. Other landmarks nearby include Yarmouth Castle (under half a mile north-west) and Ferguson Family Museum (1.2 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve and Afton Down.
Homes and roofs across PO41
Across PO41, from Barton, Hunny Hill and Cross Lane outwards, roofs range from old slate and clay tile to modern concrete tiles and flat roofs. The usual weak points are fixings, flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Our surveys reach from London out to Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex, the Thames Valley, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and PO41 is well within that. We survey on any day of the week. Near the coast in PO41, wind can be strong, and a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. Roofs there also face driving rain and salt air.
Yarmouth: Take a building like Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Mottistone Manor lies about 4.8 miles south-east, so building around Yarmouth goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. A survey sets a baseline, which makes later changes easy to spot.
Before booking any surveyor
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Keep the report with your property records
- Leave roof access to professionals
Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and it can help when you sell.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What a survey doesn’t cover
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
PO41: your questions answered
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you carry out surveys 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.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
How long does the visit take?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Report times depend on the package.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
