What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere like Chithurst needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- 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 we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Chithurst
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where it applies and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about loose chimney pots and debris building up in roof valleys.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Chithurst homes and their roofs
With Cowdray House about 3.1 miles east, Chithurst sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Take an older house close to Chithurst Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Stedham Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Liphook station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What this survey can’t tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- A full building survey of the property
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future

Roofs we survey in Chithurst
- The roof space
- Natural slate
- Chimney stacks
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Lead flashings
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Flat roofs
Why get it checked now?
Leaks rarely show up right away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Let us know about past leaks
- Check we can open the loft hatch
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.

Chithurst questions
How do I find out if my home in Chithurst is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Liphook station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
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.
