The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Beauworth, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Somewhere as small as Beauworth, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Roof surveys in Beauworth: local notes
If the drone is used for your survey, 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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Hinton Ampner House lies about 1.5 miles north-east, so building around Beauworth goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.

What else we do in Beauworth
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Common questions in Beauworth
Is Beauworth in the area you cover?
Yes, Beauworth is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Beauworth as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Beauworth?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We do not provide structural calculations.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it is safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Checking the roof from ground level
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.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles, particularly at the verges and ridge.
Flat roof coverings
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Common roof problems in Beauworth
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It’s often mistaken for a leak, and it needs a different fix.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St James, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How soon the report will arrive
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
