Roof by roof
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but its nails frequently corrode first. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates.
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets, since leaks frequently start there.
Roof survey in Hannington
Many homes have several roofs, not just one. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof usually wears out sooner than a pitched one, so they deserve a close look. Felt frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber can last 30 to 50. We survey the roof space, natural slate and clay and concrete tiles, and people most frequently book us about valley linings that have cracked or split and leaning or weathered chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Hannington, homes are often 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What a roof survey looks like in Hannington
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Hannington is about 5 miles south-west of Tadley, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Hannington is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Reading.

What a roof survey doesn’t cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

What we are asked to look at in Hannington
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, especially near trees.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Loose chimney pots
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you let a flat or house near Overton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before you book anyone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Why get it checked now?
Before you put a home on the market, it is useful to know the roof’s condition. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them, or at least know what to expect. For an older or listed building in a place like Hannington, 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 which survey you book.
Why us?
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Every finding written up with photos
- An independent look at the roof

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Around Hannington, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Questions from Hannington
Will you come out to Hannington?
Yes, Hannington is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hannington?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
All the main parts of the roof: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
