Roof survey in Fyfield, Hampshire
Wondering about the roof at a property in Fyfield? You can book a roof survey in Fyfield and across Hampshire.
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older roofs in small places like Fyfield can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- We email a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Fyfield
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. Flat roofs frequently need attention long before the main roof. Felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber can last 30 to 50. If you’ve noticed valley linings that have cracked or split and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Fyfield, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- File the report with your home documents
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.

Common roof problems in Fyfield
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, especially near trees.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- How soon the report will arrive
Surveys for landlords and agents in Fyfield
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
Why get it checked now?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, which makes later changes easy to spot. For an older or listed building in a place like Fyfield, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

When you need someone else
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

Common questions in Fyfield
Is Fyfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Fyfield is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.

Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
What does a roof survey cost?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
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. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Roof surveys around Fyfield
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
