How a roof survey works in Appleshaw
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Slate often lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. We survey lead flashings, the roof space and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older roofs in small places like Appleshaw can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Landlord and commercial surveys in Appleshaw
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Roof surveys around Appleshaw
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Signs you need a roof survey in Appleshaw
Some damage starts inside the loft space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, wetting timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak, and it needs a different fix.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter in the Wood, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Felt flat roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber frequently lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We look at how the covering is wearing.
Natural slate
From the loft, we check the underside of a slate roof. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none.
