About our roof survey in Headbourne Worthy
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We’re often asked to look into flashings that have come away from the wall and worn or blocked valleys, on flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings.
Somewhere as small as Headbourne Worthy, 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. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Older roofs in small places like Headbourne Worthy can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.

Signs you need a roof survey in Headbourne Worthy
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Anyone responsible for a site like Kings Worthy Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Local roofs in Headbourne Worthy
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

FAQs for Headbourne Worthy
How do I find out if my home in Headbourne Worthy is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Headbourne Worthy?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the loft space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
Which days do you carry out surveys?

Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.

What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar, as wind can lift them.
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. If a specialist is needed, we will say so.
