When to book a survey in Barton Stacey
Some damage starts inside the loft space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It is often mistaken for a leak, and it needs a different fix.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
For landlords with property near Micheldever station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What insurance they carry
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
How a roof survey works in Barton Stacey
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. If you’ve noticed ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and loose chimney pots, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Barton Stacey, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

FAQs for Barton Stacey
Will you come out to Barton Stacey?
Yes, Barton Stacey is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Micheldever station?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Barton Stacey
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building such as Barton Stacey Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding

Roof by roof
Natural slate
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs. Widespread slipping usually points to corroded nails, which we describe in the report.
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Worn or split lead lets water straight in, and lead is a target for theft.
What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older rural homes like those around Barton Stacey can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
