Roof surveys for Amport homes and businesses

Can I check my roof myself?

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.

How a roof survey works in Amport

Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there’s safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gutters that overflow in heavy rain and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles.

Older buildings in small places like Amport may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.

We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

What we’re asked to look at in Amport

Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.

We’re frequently asked to look at:

  • Standing water on a flat roof
  • Loose chimney pots
  • Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
  • Debris building up in roof valleys

Anyone responsible for a site like Amport Church of England Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What’s in a roof survey

Amport: your questions answered

Can a landlord with a rental near Grateley station book a roof survey?

Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.

Do you cover smaller places like Amport?

Yes. Amport is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.

Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?

Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.

What if it rains on the day?

It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, 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.

How many surveys have you done?

We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.

Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?

No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.

How do I book a survey in Amport?

To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Amport

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer.

Roof surveys around Amport

If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.

If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

How we price roof surveys

We confirm the exact price before you book. This is what makes a difference:

  • Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
  • How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
  • The roof’s overall size
  • How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages

To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Booking your survey

Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:

  • Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
  • Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
  • Where the property is, with the postcode
  • Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors

You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Different roofs, different checks

Concrete interlocking tiles

Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles, especially at the verges and ridge.

Chimney stacks

Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.

What happens on the day

We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Amport 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.

  1. We start with the property details and any concerns.
  2. We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
  3. Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
  4. We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
  5. We email a report with photographs and recommendations.

How to prepare

  • Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
  • For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
  • If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
