Roof survey in Hinton Ampner
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We are often asked to look into ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and debris building up in roof valleys, across ridges, hips and valleys, lead flashings and the roof space.
Older buildings in small places like Hinton Ampner may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

FAQs for Hinton Ampner

Do you cover Hinton Ampner?

How do I book a survey in Hinton Ampner?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
How quickly will I get the report?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges frequently cracks on tiled roofs. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar, as wind can lift them.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Stay off ladders and the roof
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Compare each report with the last.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How big the roof is
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:

- Any marks or damp showing indoors

Roof surveys in Hinton Ampner: local notes
With Hinton Ampner House about 0.3 miles south, Hinton Ampner sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building like Cheriton Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Hinton Ampner
Without a survey, you are guessing at what the roof needs. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Hinton Ampner, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere as small as Hinton Ampner, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
