Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Buriton
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the loft space where there’s safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. If you’ve noticed blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and loose ridge or hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Buriton, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Cottages and farmhouses around Buriton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
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, and they can crack.
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and South East England. Widespread slipping normally points to corroded nails, which we describe in the report.
Your questions about roof surveys in Buriton
Will you come out to Buriton?
Yes, Buriton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I let a flat near Petersfield station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it is safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
What do you check on a roof survey?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there is safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Buriton
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Local roofs in Buriton
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Buriton Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Uppark lies about 3 miles south-east, so building around Buriton goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. Trees in and around Ditcham Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Leave it or get it looked at?
By the time water marks a ceiling, it’s frequently been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. In a place like Buriton, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
