About our pre-purchase roof survey in Anna Valley
Some roofs cannot be seen well from the ground or from windows. Our Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone inspection, along with a same-day report. If airspace rules or the weather rule out a flight, we will say so and inspect from every other safe vantage point. If you’re worried about roof slopes that look uneven or sagging and slipped or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Anna Valley makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
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. Do not go up yourself.
Local roofs and buyers in Anna Valley
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

What else we do in Anna Valley
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Older homes in the South East frequently have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles on some. Where pegs have rotted, tiles can slip.
Flat roofs
Many homes have a flat roof somewhere, frequently over an extension. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, rubber longer and GRP up to about 30. We check how the covering is wearing.
Common questions in Anna Valley
Do you carry out roof surveys in Anna Valley?
Yes, Anna Valley is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Anna Valley is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Does your survey replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof only, and it is not a RICS home survey. It works alongside a home survey.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Ask who repairs the roof under the lease
- Ask the agent to make sure the loft hatch can be opened
- Ask whether there are papers for past roof work
- Share the report with your solicitor
We email the report to you, with photos of each finding. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are set out in plain English, and recommendations are ranked by urgency where that helps.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up, wetting timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents so air can move.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours at the house you’re buying, depending on its size and how much of the roof can be seen. Around Anna Valley, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey to suit the home you’re buying.
- A date is booked on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You receive the report, with findings prioritised by urgency, so you can raise them with the seller.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Why act early in Anna Valley
A seller may honestly not know the state of the roof. The forms they complete only show what they’re aware of. An independent look tells you how the roof is now. Older and listed buildings around Anna Valley may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Anna Valley
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- An independent look at the roof
- Visits on any day of the week
