Goodworth Clatford: your questions answered
Is my home in Goodworth Clatford listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How a roof survey works in Goodworth Clatford
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We’re often asked to look into loose chimney pots and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, on chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older roofs in small places like Goodworth Clatford can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is 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 roof space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Goodworth Clatford
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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 you let a flat or house near Andover station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Useful tips for Goodworth Clatford property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Keep the report with your property records
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.
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.
What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A structural engineer’s report
- A full building survey of the property

What happens if roof problems are left?

Outbuildings and barns around Goodworth Clatford are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Signs you need a roof survey in Goodworth Clatford
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable roofing membranes came into use in the UK in the late 1990s, so many older roofs have bitumen felt underlay, and some very old roofs have no underlay at all. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Torn or sagging underlay
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Clatford Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
