How a pre-purchase roof survey works in Redenham
If you’re buying a flat, the roof may well be shared. Depending on the lease, roof repairs may fall to the building owner or a management company. We inspect what access allows us to see safely, and the report gives you clear points to raise with your solicitor or the managing agent. Where the building has a flat roof, it’s checked as far as access allows. Common reasons to book are gutters choked with leaves and moss and slipped or missing slates and tiles, across lead flashings and valleys, the roof space and chimney stacks.
Some older homes in villages like Redenham are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They wear slowly, but surfaces erode and edges crack.
Chimney stacks
A leaning stack, cracked flaunching or crumbling pointing can all need work. We note them with photos so you can ask about them.
How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Redenham 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’re buying.
- We agree a visit, including weekends if that helps.
- The coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Standard and Premium surveys add the extra checks they include.
- We send the report with recommendations ranked by urgency, ready for you to discuss with the seller or agent.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Getting a price

Advice
Useful tips for Redenham property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Ask whether there are papers for past roof work
- Share the report with your solicitor
- Do not leave it until just before exchange
- Watch for stains or fresh paint on ceilings below the roof
It is worth sharing the report with your solicitor so they can raise enquiries with the seller’s side. Past repairs, re-roofing and any records of that work are all fair questions.
Chimneys and flashings need watching. Look for leaning pots, missing mortar and lifted lead. A pair of binoculars from the garden shows a lot.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords, agents and building managers in Redenham and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Buying a home or a new roof in Redenham
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter in the Wood are frequently 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 let a flat or house near Andover station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Why act early in Redenham
Even if you go ahead regardless, knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan. The report shows what needs doing first, so you can plan work before small faults get bigger. In a small place like Redenham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Your questions about pre-purchase roof surveys in Redenham
Do you cover Redenham?
Yes, Redenham is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Redenham within the area you cover?
Yes, Redenham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you need access inside the house?
Where possible, yes. The loft tells us a lot about the roof, and views from upper windows help too. The agent or seller can arrange entry.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Is this the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a dedicated roof survey, and you get a written report with photos. It isn’t a RICS survey and does not cover the rest of the house.
What a pre-purchase roof survey doesn’t cover
It helps to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Whether the price should change, which is between you and the seller
- Anything beyond the roof, which a full home survey covers
- Faults hidden behind ceilings, boards or coverings
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
