Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Easton
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on any day of the week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you’re worried about crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, we can find out what’s behind it, on the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and ridges, hips and valleys alike.
Some older homes in villages like Easton are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Questions from Easton
Do you cover smaller places like Easton?
Yes, Easton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in Easton is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access as you book.
How much does a roof survey cost in Easton?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
When will the report arrive?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Tips that help
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
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.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
When to book a survey in Easton
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Loose chimney pots
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What exactly goes into their report
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Landlords and letting agents in Easton book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
What else we do in Easton
Roof surveys around Easton
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take a building like Peter Symonds College: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Winchester station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere as small as Easton, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Find any records of previous roof work
