Cliddesden Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out roof surveys in Cliddesden, with photos and a clear written report.
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
About our roof survey in Cliddesden
Our roof surveys cover Cliddesden and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you are ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. If you’ve noticed crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Cliddesden are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Cliddesden homes and their roofs
About 4.8 miles north lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Cliddesden has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you run a business near Festival Place, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Anyone responsible for a site like Cliddesden Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Basingstoke station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere like Cliddesden needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

What else we do in Cliddesden
What happens if roof problems are left?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and damp timber slowly weakens. Catching it early means less to put right. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Cliddesden, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What a roof survey doesn’t cover
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets

Your questions about roof surveys in Cliddesden
Will you come out to Cliddesden?
Yes, Cliddesden is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Cliddesden 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.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Does the weather affect the survey?
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. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The size of the roof
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The property’s address and postcode
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
