Pre-purchase roof survey in Anmore: what you get
A Basic Survey starts from £150, while Standard starts from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. Standard adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and an in-person consultation. Pick the one that fits the property. Every package comes with a written report, photos and recommendations. We survey the roof space, gutters and downpipes and lead flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about loose pots and cracked flaunching and damp timbers or stains in the loft.
Somewhere as small as Anmore, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Anmore
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and parapets
The rainwater system keeps water off the walls. We check for blockages, leaking joints and sagging runs.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings close the gaps at chimneys, walls and abutments. We look for lead that has lifted, split or been patched over.
Useful tips for Anmore property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Let us know your timetable
- Ask who repairs the roof under the lease
- Give your solicitor a copy of the report
- Find out whether the roof has been replaced or patched
Once the home is yours, the report becomes a maintenance list. Work through the urgent items before anything else, and keep the photographs to compare against later. The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up to see how things have changed.
Once you’ve moved in, keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have dropped. Overflowing water is behind a lot of damp. Get a professional in rather than climbing up yourself.
Why act early in Anmore
After exchange, any roof defect is yours to deal with. Before it, you still have choices. Finding out later gives you the same facts, but with far less room to act on them. For older village homes like those around Anmore, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Rural addresses near Anmore can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You get in touch after your offer is agreed, with the address and your target exchange date.
- Access is arranged through you, the agent or the seller.
- We look at the roof from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- We check and photograph the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters.
- Your report arrives by email, with photos and recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets in another room

Pre-purchase roof surveys in Anmore: local notes
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Anmore, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For landlords with property near Bedhampton station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. In and around Anmore, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
Anmore is about 1 mile north-west of Waterlooville, in Hampshire. Bookings from Anmore are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. Portsmouth is in our area too.

Common questions in Anmore
Do you cover smaller places like Anmore?
Yes, Anmore is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is my home in Anmore listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How soon is the report ready?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Tell us your exchange date and we’ll help you choose.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it is safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and a drone is part of the Premium Survey where it applies.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
