Pre-Purchase Roof Survey in Phoenix Green
Pre-purchase roof surveys in Phoenix Green and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
- Old water stains in the loft space
- Roof slopes that look uneven or sagging
- Bitumen or mortar used in place of proper repairs
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Phoenix Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You book once your offer is accepted and tell us the address and your timetable.
- We arrange access with you, the agent or the seller.
- We inspect the roof from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Each part of the roof is examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations to read before exchange.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Pre-purchase roof survey in Phoenix Green: what you get
A RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey covers the whole building, so the roof is one item among many. We do not offer a RICS home survey, and ours isn’t a substitute for one. What it adds is a closer look at the roof alone, with photos of what we find and written recommendations. The two sit side by side. Typical surveys look at chimney mortar that has eroded and slates or tiles that have slipped or gone, across the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks.
Being in a small place like Phoenix Green 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. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we’re asked to look at in Phoenix Green
Flat roofs turn up on extensions, dormers, porches and garages. Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15 to 20 years, and standing water, blisters and splits are typical signs of ageing. They’re easy to overlook on a viewing, because many can only be seen from an upstairs window.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Lead that has worked loose at a wall or chimney
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Cracked flaunching or crumbling chimney pointing
- Roof slopes that look uneven or sagging
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What follow-up you get after the report
Surveys for landlords and agents in Phoenix Green
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Phoenix Green
Without a survey, you’re relying on a glance from the pavement. That won’t show slipped slates on the rear slope, a worn valley or cracked flaunching. We fill that gap before you’re tied in, with photos of anything that needs attention. For older village homes like those around Phoenix Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Pre-purchase roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why book us in Phoenix Green
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- PI and public liability insurance

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for slipped, cracked and missing tiles, along with odd replacement tiles that hint at earlier leaks.
Gutters and parapets
Hidden gutters behind parapets send water indoors when they block. We check their linings and outlets from wherever is safe.

Phoenix Green: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Phoenix Green?
Yes, Phoenix Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Phoenix Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you need to go inside the property?
If it can be arranged, yes. From the roof space we can see staining, timbers and underlay. If access isn’t possible, we note it in the report.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is this the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a dedicated roof survey, with a written report and photos. It isn’t a RICS survey and doesn’t cover the rest of the house.
How long does the survey visit take?
Allow about 1–2 hours at the house you’re buying, depending on its size and how much of the roof can be seen. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only where it’s safe. We also inspect from ground level, upper windows and the roof space.
Buying a home or a new roof in Phoenix Green
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- For a flat, check who is responsible for the roof
- Ask for any paperwork for recent roof work
- Notice patches of new decoration in top-floor rooms
- Check we will be able to get into the roof space
With Standard, you get a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. Whichever package you choose, you can ask us what a finding means.
Keep the loft ventilated. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up, wetting timbers and insulation. Avoid packing insulation into the eaves so tightly that air can’t flow.
