Roof survey in Hale
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you’ve noticed flashings that have come away from the wall and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Hale, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Hale
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Hale has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 2.5 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If your house is among 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. If you look after a building such as Hale Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Hale is in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Hale, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Hampshire coverage includes Hale and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

What this survey cannot tell you
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

- Natural slate

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Leave it or get it looked at?
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Older and listed buildings around Hale may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

FAQs for Hale
Do you cover smaller places like Hale?
Yes, Hale is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Hale?
Yes, Hale is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from ground level, windows and the loft space.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We do not put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a small place like Hale, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.

Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
