Roof survey in Hursley
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, like moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. We’re often asked to look into slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and flashings that have come away from the wall, on natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings.
Some older homes in villages like Hursley are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future

Hursley homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Landlords with a home close to Shawford station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like John Keble Church of England Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Hursley: your questions answered
Is Hursley within the area you cover?
Yes, Hursley is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hursley?
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.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
How soon is the report ready?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
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 roof space. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Prices for roof surveys in Hursley
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The size of the roof
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you get in touch
We’ll normally ask about:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Hursley
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Hursley, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Let us know about parking before the day

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, which makes later changes easy to spot. Older and listed buildings around Hursley may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
