About roof surveys in RG23
We survey roofs in RG23 and across London and the South East. Visits run seven days a week. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you are ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space, and people most frequently book us about gutters that overflow in heavy rain and debris building up in roof valleys.
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report. As for time on site, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across RG23
Homes across RG23 range from older properties with chimneys and lead flashings to newer houses with concrete tiles. Blocked gutters, slipped slates and tired flashings turn up on all of them sooner or later.
Across London and South East England, older homes often have slate or clay tiles, while many later ones have concrete tiles. That variety shapes every survey in RG23.
Oakley: If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Malls, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. For landlords with property near Overton station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in RG23. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Letting agents and landlords in RG23 book surveys as well as homeowners. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Useful tips for RG23 property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
File the report with your other home documents. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
Every so frequently, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.
What we’re asked to look at in RG23
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
Why get it checked now?
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.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Common questions in RG23
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How long does the visit take?
The visit typically takes an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you cover RG23?
Yes. We cover RG23 and the rest of Hampshire. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
