How a pre-purchase roof survey works in Blendworth
Book after your offer is accepted and before exchange. At that point you can still ask questions, because nothing is binding yet. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when the chain is moving fast. The report comes within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We survey gutters and downpipes, the roof space and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about worn or lifted lead flashings and roof slopes that look uneven or sagging.
In a village or hamlet like Blendworth, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Even if you go ahead regardless, knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan. You will know which jobs are urgent and which can wait, and you can line up a roofer before small faults grow. In a small place like Blendworth, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Common roof problems in Blendworth
Many roofs have had quick fixes over the years. Bitumen painted over a flashing, mortar where lead should be, or a few tiles that don’t match can be signs that something has leaked before. Our report records them so you can ask the seller what was done and when.
Common reasons to book include:
- Roof slopes that look uneven or sagging
- Gaps where slates or tiles have come loose
- Blocked or leaking gutters
- Cracked flaunching or crumbling chimney pointing
If you let a flat or house near Rowlands Castle station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How long the report takes to arrive
Buying a home or a new roof in Blendworth
Blendworth is within about 5 miles of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Uppark lies about 4.8 miles north-east, so building around Blendworth goes back a long way. If you’re buying an older home nearby, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before you plan any re-roofing. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

The visit typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Blendworth often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached.
