How a roof survey works in Bishopstoke
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Every part gets the attention it needs. If you’ve noticed slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, on the roof space, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs alike.
Around Bishopstoke, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Questions from Bishopstoke
Are there drone restrictions around Bishopstoke?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. The flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport covers Bishopstoke, or comes right up to its edge. We ask the airport for permission before flying there, and only fly if it’s given. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Is my home in Bishopstoke listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the roof space where there is safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Bishopstoke?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.
How long does a roof survey take?
The visit usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Roof area
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Anything about access we should know
- What kind of property and roof it is
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Roof surveys in Bishopstoke: local notes
The wider area around Bishopstoke has a long history of building, with South Stoneham House about 3 miles south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live near a park such as Lakeside Country Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stoke Park Junior School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. The streets around a church like St Paul's are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Bishopstoke is about 1 mile east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Surveys in Bishopstoke work the same way as everywhere we cover: a close look at what can safely be seen, photos and a clear written report. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small.
All of SO50 is covered for roof surveys, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Local streets include Guest Road, Manor Road and Sayers Road, and we cover them all. If you are just outside Bishopstoke, we cover Eastleigh (1 mile west), Crowdhill (1 mile north-east), Lord's Wood (1 mile north), Highbridge (2 miles north) and Fisher's Pond (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Winchester (6 miles north), Gosport (14 miles south-east), Fareham (10 miles south-east), Horndean (14 miles east), Totton (8 miles south-west) and Chandler's Ford (3 miles north-west).

Landlords, agents and block managers in Bishopstoke
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Why act early in Bishopstoke
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than waiting for something to fail. In an older home around Bishopstoke, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
For a price for your roof in Bishopstoke, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

What this survey cannot tell you

- A full building survey of the property
- A structural engineer’s report
- Asbestos testing of any kind
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- The roof space
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Lead flashings
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Natural slate
- Ridges, hips and valleys
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. A visit to a smaller place like Bishopstoke is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Leave side gates unlocked
