Roof survey in Clanfield, Hampshire
Roof surveys around Clanfield, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Loose chimney pots
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Let us know about past leaks
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- File the report with your home documents
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
About our roof survey in Clanfield
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. Typical surveys look at standing water on a flat roof and loose chimney pots, across lead flashings, chimney stacks and ridges, hips and valleys.
In a village or hamlet like Clanfield, 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 frequently old. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a roof survey looks like in Clanfield
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
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. If you look after a building such as Clanfield Junior School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

FAQs for Clanfield
Can a landlord with a rental near Rowlands Castle station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Clanfield?
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.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are looked at from your side.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it’s safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Clanfield?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
The survey, step by step
On the day, 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 it applies. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Rural addresses near Clanfield can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Catching it early means less to put right. In a small place like Clanfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

- Torn or sagging underlay
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
