Mullenspond Pre-Purchase Roof Survey
Wondering about the roof at a property in Mullenspond? We carry out pre-purchase roof surveys in Mullenspond and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Loose pots and cracked flaunching
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Quick fixes on flashings and valleys
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Leaning stacks, loose pots and eroded mortar are common findings. We photograph them so you can raise them before exchange.
Clay and concrete tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but they weather and can crack, and low-pitched roofs need their laps to be right.
Pre-purchase roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mullenspond
With a written roof report, you can go back to the seller or agent with specifics. You can ask about the roof’s history, ask for repairs before completion or rethink the price. We cannot say how a seller will respond, but you’ll be asking from facts rather than guesses. It can also help you decide whether the purchase is still right for you. We survey gutters and downpipes, the roof space and natural slate, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are a ridge or slope that dips and bitumen or mortar used in place of proper repairs.
In a village or hamlet like Mullenspond, homes are frequently 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What this survey cannot tell you
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- The condition of the rest of the house (that’s a RICS home survey)
- Whether the price should change, which is between you and the seller
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

Your questions about pre-purchase roof surveys in Mullenspond
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mullenspond?
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. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Mullenspond within the area you cover?
Yes, Mullenspond is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you need access inside the house?
If it can be arranged, yes. Inside, the loft shows leaks, damp timbers and the underlay. If access isn’t possible, we note it in the report.
Is your roof survey a RICS survey?
No. It is a dedicated roof survey, and you get a written report with photos. It doesn’t cover the rest of the property, which a RICS survey does.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
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.
When will the report arrive?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Let us know your timetable when booking.

Mullenspond homes and their roofs
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
The streets around a church like Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Mullenspond often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey to suit the home you are buying.
- We agree a visit, including weekends if that helps.
- 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.
- We send the report with recommendations ranked by urgency, ready for you to discuss with the seller or agent.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Give your solicitor a copy of the report
- Request records of any re-roofing
- Book once your offer is accepted
- Let us know your exchange date when booking
With Standard, you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes a consultation in person. Whichever package you choose, you can ask us what a finding means.
Chimneys and flashings need watching. Look for leaning pots, missing mortar and lifted lead. A pair of binoculars from the garden shows a lot.
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
