About our roof survey in Harbridge
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you are worried about lifted, split or missing lead flashings and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Harbridge are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
The survey, step by step
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 typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Harbridge, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Harbridge homes and their roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Whatever the street in Harbridge, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Honest limits
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- A full building survey of the property
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt

Common questions in Harbridge
Do you cover smaller places like Harbridge?
Yes, Harbridge is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Harbridge 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 is worth checking before planning any.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. We send it by email.
What does a roof survey include?
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.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
