Roof survey in Hook Park Estate: what you get
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We are often asked to look into crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, across clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Hook Park Estate, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Cottages and farmhouses around Hook Park Estate frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.

- Gather any paperwork for past roof work

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Hook Park Estate
Hook Park Estate lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s 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.
For landlords with property near Hamble station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Anyone responsible for a site like Hook-With-Warsash Church of England Academy will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

How we price roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The size of the roof
- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside frequently starts with the stack outside. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move, leaving gaps along the courses.
Common roof problems in Hook Park Estate
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Debris building up in roof valleys
Homes near green spaces like Hamble Common can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

What else we do in Hook Park Estate
Questions from Hook Park Estate
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Hook Park Estate, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows, and Hook Park Estate is within about 1 mile of the coast.
Will you come out to Hook Park Estate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s 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.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are looked at from your side.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
