Local roofs and buyers in Weyhill
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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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 the council is the place to ask.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels 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.

Pre-purchase roof surveys for homes and businesses in Weyhill
The roof is one of the most expensive parts of a home to repair, and one of the hardest for a buyer to see. Our pre-purchase roof survey gives you a close look at it before you are committed. We check the coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and the roof space where it’s safe to get in. The findings come in a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at standing water on a flat extension roof and flashings that have lifted or split, on the roof space, gutters and downpipes and clay and concrete tiles.
Older buildings in small places like Weyhill may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What affects the cost of pre-purchase roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- House, block, shop or office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Useful tips for Weyhill property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Notice patches of new decoration in top-floor rooms
- Ask for any paperwork for recent roof work
- Check the lease for roof repair responsibilities
- Pass the findings to your conveyancer
We email the report to you, with photos of each finding. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each defect is explained in plain words, and recommendations are ranked by urgency where that helps.
After you move in, have leaves and moss cleared from gutters and valleys, especially after autumn. Overflowing water is behind a lot of damp. Use a gutter contractor rather than going up a ladder yourself.
What happens on the day
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 an hour or two at the house you’re buying, depending on its size and how much of the roof can be seen. Older roofs in small places like Weyhill can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You book once your offer is accepted and tell us the address and your timetable.
- We agree a time and how we will get in, including the loft.
- We look at the roof from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Each part of the roof is examined and photographed.
- We email a written report with photographs and recommendations, ready for you to use before exchange.
How to prepare
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Weyhill questions
Is Weyhill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Weyhill is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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.
When will the report arrive?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Let us know your timetable as you book.
Does your survey replace a RICS home survey?
No. We survey the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS home survey. It complements one rather than replacing it.
Do you need to go inside the property?
Where possible, yes. We look in the roof space where there’s safe access, and views from upper windows help too. The agent or seller can arrange entry.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
When you need someone else
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- Anything beyond the roof, which a full home survey covers
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- The roof space
- Chimney stacks
- Natural slate
- Flat-roofed extensions and dormers
- Gutters and downpipes
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Lead flashings and valleys
When to book a survey in Weyhill
Flat roofs turn up on extensions, dormers, porches and garages. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and standing water, blisters and splits are typical signs of ageing. They’re easy to overlook on a viewing, particularly when they’re only visible from an upper floor.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Chimney mortar that has eroded
- A ridge or slope that dips
- Flashings that have lifted or split
- Ponding, blisters or splits on a flat roof
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
