Andover Roof Survey
Wondering about the roof at a property in Andover? You can book a roof survey in Andover and across Hampshire.
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
Why act early in Andover
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time. In a family home in Andover, a small roof fault lets water into places you cannot see, like the loft insulation, the top of a wall or the roof timbers. By the time it shows inside, the job has grown.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.
What you get with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
Take a look at what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
How a roof survey works in Andover
There are three levels of survey: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. We’re frequently asked to look into crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, on lead flashings, chimney stacks and the roof space.
Most homes in a town like Andover are houses, so the roof is typically the owner’s to look after. A slipped tile or blocked gutter costs far less to sort than the damp it causes later. A roof report gives you a list of what needs doing and how soon. The photos let you see the parts of the roof you cannot get to.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we are asked to look at in Andover
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before booking anyone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Local roofs in Andover
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. A typical visit in Andover begins with the street side of the roof and then moves round the building. The back garden is often where extensions, dormers and rear slopes are best seen. Then, if it can be reached safely, we look in the loft.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
