Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
Your report arrives by email. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.
Roof survey in Furzeley Corner: what you get
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Slate often lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. If you’re worried about valley linings that have cracked or split and standing water on a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Furzeley Corner 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 such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. Upstands and outlets are checked too, since leaks frequently start there.
Natural slate
Inside the roof space, we check what’s under the slates. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Furzeley Corner can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Advice
Why it’s worth a survey now in Furzeley Corner
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. An overflow there sends water indoors. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. For older village homes like those around Furzeley Corner, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Questions from Furzeley Corner
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Furzeley Corner?
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.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Furzeley Corner?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
What do you check on a roof survey?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there is safe access. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
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.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
Local roofs in Furzeley Corner
Furzeley Corner is within about 3 miles of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For landlords with property near Cosham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Do you need a roof survey in Furzeley Corner?
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It’s frequently mistaken for a leak, and it needs a different fix.
Look out for signs like these:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Loose chimney pots
If you look after a building like Denmead Junior School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely

- Whether the inside of the roof is included
