About our roof survey in Corhampton
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 roof space where there’s safe access. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings, and people most frequently book us about slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and debris building up in roof valleys.
In a village or hamlet like Corhampton, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Corhampton
Is Corhampton in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Corhampton is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Corhampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
How long does the visit take?
The visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We’ll give you an idea of timing when booking.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Keep the report with your property records
- Mention any damp patches when you book
We email the report to you. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words, with recommendations.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
Why get it checked now?
It’s easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Older cottages and farmhouses around Corhampton can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

Roof surveys around Corhampton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Hinton Ampner House, about 4.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Corhampton. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. The streets around a church such as Corhampton Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Take a building like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Corhampton is about 7 miles north-west of Horndean, in Hampshire. We visit Corhampton as part of our work across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Corhampton is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it is relevant. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Corhampton, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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 every safe vantage point 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 the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about parking before the day
Booking a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
