Wildmoor homes and their roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 3 miles west, show how far back building around Wildmoor goes. When you buy an older home, the roof’s age, past repairs and any listing all affect what you might spend later. If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. If you live in an older home near Church of St. Leonard, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Pre-purchase roof survey in Wildmoor
Our packages start with the Basic Survey from £150, while Standard starts from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. Standard adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and an in-person consultation.

If you’ve noticed slates or tiles that have slipped or gone and signs of past leaks inside the loft, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Wildmoor, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. 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.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Wildmoor
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Ask when the roof was last worked on
- Let us know your timetable
- Arrange the survey as soon as your offer is agreed
- Look for fresh paint on upstairs ceilings at viewings
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, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Chimneys and flashings need watching. Look for leaning pots, missing mortar and lifted lead. Binoculars from the ground are enough for a first look.
FAQs for Wildmoor
Do you cover smaller places like Wildmoor?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Wildmoor listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Where it is safe, yes. Much of the inspection is done from ground level, from windows and from the loft space. The Premium Survey adds a drone inspection where it applies.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
When is the best time to have the roof checked when buying?
The sooner after your offer is accepted, the better. The report is most useful before exchange, while you can still ask questions and negotiate.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Chimney stacks take the brunt of the weather. The pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are all checked, as far as we can see them safely.
Natural slate
On a slate roof, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all on very old roofs. Where we can see it from the loft, we say what condition it’s in.
The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Wildmoor can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- After your offer is agreed, you book and share your timetable.
- We arrange access with you, the agent or the seller, including the loft.
- The visit begins outside, from ground level and any safe vantage points.
- Inside, we check the roof space and look at the roof from windows.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations before you exchange.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
