FAQs for Hungerford
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hungerford?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Hungerford?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long does the visit take?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where it applies.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hungerford
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. We are often asked to look into slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, across clay and concrete tiles, flat roofs and lead flashings.
Somewhere as small as Hungerford, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. 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.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

What we are asked to look at in Hungerford
Slates and tiles frequently outlast the fixings that hold them. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone, letting tiles move.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of the Holy Ascension, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Prices for roof surveys in Hungerford
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Hungerford homes and their roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Breamore House, about 4.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hungerford. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Useful tips for Hungerford property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Let us know about past leaks
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
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.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
Why act early in Hungerford
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Catching it early means less to put right. Outbuildings and barns around Hungerford are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a hamlet or village like Hungerford, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Tell us about parking before the day
