Chillerton Roof Survey

Why it’s worth a survey now in Chillerton
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Roof survey in Chillerton: what you get
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. Common reasons to book are flashings that have come away from the wall and standing water on a flat roof, on chimney stacks, lead flashings and the roof space.
Older buildings in small places like Chillerton may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Chillerton
Chillerton lies within about 4 miles of the sea, where wind off the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
With Sheat Manor about 0.6 miles north-east, the area around Chillerton has a long history. If your home is one of the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. If you look after a building like Chillerton and Rookley Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Chillerton is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever you are in Chillerton, we can carry out roof surveys at your property. Chillerton is one of the towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we work for roof surveys. For surveys nearby, see our Portsmouth page.
Roof surveys in PO30 are booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your property is on Hollow Lane, Greenland Close and Brook Lane or a nearby road, we can survey it. Close by, we survey roofs in Gatcombe (1 mile north), Shorwell (2 miles west), Bowcombe (2 miles north-west), Plaish (2 miles north) and Chale Green (2 miles south).

A little further out are Whitecroft Hospital (1.5 miles north) and Carisbrooke Castle (2.5 miles north). The countryside around Chillerton includes Brighstone Down.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your questions about roof surveys in Chillerton
Is my home in Chillerton listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Chillerton?
Yes, Chillerton is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How long will you be at the property?
The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. We will give you an idea of timing as you book.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Chillerton?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Signs you need a roof survey in Chillerton
Some damage starts inside the loft space. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Loose chimney pots
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
If you live in an older home near St. Olave's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
What a roof survey does not cover
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- A full building survey of the property
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- The roof space
- Natural slate
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Lead flashings
- Clay and concrete tiles
What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges frequently cracks on tiled roofs. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar, as wind can lift them.
Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. Upstands and outlets are checked too, since leaks often start there.
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Chillerton, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
