Pre-purchase roof survey in West Green, Hampshire
A roof survey before you buy a house or flat across West Green, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Get in touch for a price.
- Roof slopes that look uneven or sagging
- Blocked or leaking gutters
- Signs of past leaks inside the loft
What happens if roof problems are left?
After exchange, any roof defect is yours to deal with. Before then, you can still ask questions, ask for work to be done or reconsider. A survey after you’ve moved in tells you the same things, but too late to use them in the purchase. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like West Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

Different roofs, different checks
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.
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead-lined valleys and gutters are common on older homes in London and the South East. Splits in a lead valley send water inside, and lead is also a target for theft.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a hamlet or village like West Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- After your offer is agreed, you book and share your timetable.
- We arrange access with you, the agent or the seller, including the loft.
- We start outside, looking at the roof from the ground and from vantage points.
- We then look from upstairs windows and inside the loft where it’s safe.
- You get a report with photographs and recommendations before you exchange.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Booking a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.

What we are asked to look at in West Green
Many roofs have had quick fixes over the years. Bitumen over flashings, mortar fillets in place of lead and odd replacement tiles can be signs that something has leaked before. We note what we see so you can ask about it.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Signs of past leaks inside the loft
- Chimney mortar that has eroded
- Worn or lifted lead flashings
- Bitumen or mortar used in place of proper repairs
For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their insurance cover
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Buying a home or a new roof in West Green
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. With Stratfield Saye House about 4.6 miles north-west, West Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- When you need the report by
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The address and postcode of the property
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Walls, floors, services and rooms below the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up

FAQs for West Green
Is West Green in the area you cover?
Yes, West Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in West Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access as you book.
Can I use the report to negotiate on price?
Yes. You might ask for work to be done, ask questions or ask for a change to the price. The outcome is between you and the seller, so we can’t promise any saving.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
