How a roof survey works in Crockerhill
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We’re often asked to look into slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and standing water on a flat roof, across flat roofs, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles.
In a small place like Crockerhill, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
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.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
When to book a survey in Crockerhill
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Missing lead is not unusual either, as thieves target it.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Nicholas, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Choosing a roof surveyor

Common questions in Crockerhill
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Fareham station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Crockerhill?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Crockerhill in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Crockerhill included.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it’s safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a small place like Crockerhill, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.

What else we do in Crockerhill
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Crockerhill
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Crockerhill, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like The Henry Cort Community College, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Fareham Shopping Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

Why act early in Crockerhill
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Around Crockerhill, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
