Roof surveys in RG22

Our roof survey service in RG22

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. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. Common reasons to book are cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and debris building up in roof valleys, on flat roofs, lead flashings and chimney stacks.

The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.

  1. You pick the package that suits your roof.
  2. We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
  3. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
  4. Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
  5. The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Roof surveys across RG22: local notes

From Basingstoke, Kempshott and Buckskin to its smaller places, buildings across RG22 have roofs of every age. Chimneys, valleys, flashings and gutters are typically where the work is.

Our area covers London and South East England, including RG22. London and South East England have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates.

Kempshott: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kempshott Junior School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church like Saint Mark's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Leave it or get it looked at?

It’s easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail.

Before booking any surveyor

  • If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
  • What exactly goes into their report
  • Their track record with similar roofs
  • What insurance they carry

Should I look at the roof myself first?

Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

What affects the price in RG22

Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:

  • The use of thermal imaging or a drone
  • Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
  • The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
  • How big the roof is

A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.

What we need to know

Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:

  • Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
  • Your timetable, like an exchange date
  • The property’s address and postcode
  • Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access

To get a price for roof surveys in RG22, call 07833 053749 or email us. The address, the type of property and what you’d like to know help us price the survey accurately.

Common roof problems in RG22

Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.

We are often asked to look at:

  • Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
  • Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
  • Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
  • Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken

Rented homes, blocks and businesses

Landlords, agents and building managers in RG22 and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

Questions from RG22

Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?

No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.

What’s the best way to book?

Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.

How long does a roof survey take?

Allow between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.

Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?

Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.

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, as far as the space allows.

What do you check on a roof survey?

Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
