About our roof survey in Baughurst
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, like moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. If you’ve noticed cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, natural slate and clay and concrete tiles alike.
In a village or hamlet like Baughurst, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Baughurst, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, 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.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Getting a price
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

Baughurst homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The Vyne, about 4.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Baughurst. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Mary's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Midgham station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building such as The Hurst School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Baughurst is about 1 mile west of Tadley, in Hampshire. Bookings from Baughurst are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire. Reading is in our area too.

Your questions about roof surveys in Baughurst
Will you come out to Baughurst?
Yes, Baughurst is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Baughurst listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
How soon is the report ready?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
What do you check on a roof survey?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it’s safe. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it’s relevant. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack, as far as we can safely see them. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.

Why get it checked now?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. For older village homes like those around Baughurst, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.
