Roof survey in SO23: how it works
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We are often asked to look into cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and worn or blocked valleys, on the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and flat roofs.
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
What affects the price in SO23
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

Landmarks near Hyde
We work in homes and buildings around St Bede Church of England Primary School, Peter Symonds College and Leigh House Hospital, among other places. Other local landmarks include St Bartholomew's Church (under half a mile south-west), The King Alfred pub (less than half a mile south-east) and St. Cross Park (1.7 miles south). Hyde has its own railway station: Winchester station. Nearby you’ll also find Winchester Castle (0.6 miles south-west) and Royal Observer Corps Museum (0.5 miles north). Not far away are Winnall Moors and Twyford Down.
Roof surveys across SO23: local notes
Across SO23, from Winchester, Hyde and Weeke 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 area takes in slate-roofed London terraces, clay-tiled Weald houses, Essex weatherboarding and post-war new towns. SO23 is part of that mix.
Hyde: If you live near a park like St. Cross Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Useful tips for SO23 property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- File the report with your home documents
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Why get it checked now?
If you are planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them, or at least know what to expect.
Before booking any surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Will the report include photos?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What affects the price in SO23
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Roof area
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before you book.
Booking your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
SO23: your questions answered
How much does a roof survey cost in SO23?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
How long will you be at the property?
The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you cover SO23 for roof surveys?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, SO23 included.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
