Roof Survey in Hazeley
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Hazeley. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
Useful tips for Hazeley property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Keep the loft space ventilated. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Make sure insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
Roof survey in Hazeley: what you get
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. 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, including signs of standing water, splits and tired upstands. A flat roof normally wears out sooner than a pitched one. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. If you’ve noticed cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Hazeley, 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 often 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.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we will say so.
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead flashings seal chimneys, walls and abutments. Lifted, split or slipped lead is recorded, and for flashings replaced with mortar or bitumen.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Hazeley
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
The streets around a church such as Mattingley Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Winchfield station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Stratfield Saye House, about 3.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hazeley. If yours is one of the older homes, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.

Why act early in Hazeley
By the time water marks a ceiling, it’s often been getting in for a while. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. In a place like Hazeley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

What a roof survey does not cover
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
What to let us know when you get in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- When you need the report by
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Hazeley needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check we can get to the back of the property

What insurance do you have?

What if it rains on the day?

Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
