About roof surveys in SO24

A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. You get a report with photographs and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. Common reasons to book are cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and cracked mortar along the ridge, across the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks.

A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.

  1. We start with the property details and any concerns.
  2. A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
  3. Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
  4. We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
  5. We email a written report with photos and recommendations.

Roof surveys across SO24: local notes

Across SO24, we survey roofs for owners, landlords and agents, from New Alresford, Ropley and Bishop's Sutton to the quieter places in between. Each report sets out what was seen, with photos and recommendations.

Across London and South East England, older homes often have slate or clay tiles, while many later ones have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed extensions and dormers are common everywhere. That variety shapes every survey in SO24.

New Alresford: For site and facilities teams at buildings like Sun Hill 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 Church of St John the Baptist 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.

Useful tips for SO24 property owners

These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:

  • Hold on to the report for future surveys
  • Check the roof from ground level after storms
  • Stay off ladders and the roof
  • Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen

With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.

Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.

Why get it checked now?

Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or miss the fault that matters. A survey tells you what actually needs attention.

Before you book any surveyor

  • What exactly goes into their report
  • When you’ll get the report
  • What insurance they carry
  • What the survey will not cover

Can I check my roof myself?

After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.

How we price roof surveys

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:

  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings
  • Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
  • Roof area
  • The use of thermal imaging or a drone

Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

Helping us price your survey

There is no need for technical words. Just let us know:

  • Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
  • The address and postcode of the property
  • Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
  • Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors

If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

What a survey does not cover

It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:

  • How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
  • Asbestos testing of any kind
  • A structural engineer’s report

FAQs for SO24

How experienced are you?

We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.

Do you work in SO24?

Yes. We survey roofs in SO24 and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.

How soon is the report ready?

The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.

Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?

No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.

Do you carry out asbestos surveys?

No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.

What does a roof survey cost?

Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
