Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Axmansford
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages frequently have flat roofs in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. They’re included alongside the main roof, including signs of standing water, splits and tired upstands. A flat roof normally wears out sooner than a pitched one. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. If you’re worried about worn or blocked valleys and loose ridge or hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Axmansford are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years.
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:

Local roofs in Axmansford
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. The Vyne, about 4.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Axmansford. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Midgham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Stephen, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Axmansford questions
Do you cover smaller places like Axmansford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Midgham station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
How long does the visit take?
The visit typically takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We will give you an idea of timing when booking.
Why act early in Axmansford
Before you put a home on the market, it is useful to know the roof’s condition. You’ll know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. For an older or listed building in a place like Axmansford, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older roofs in small places like Axmansford can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
What we’re asked to look at in Axmansford
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Anyone responsible for a site like The Hurst School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What happens after the report arrives
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
