Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hurstbourne Priors
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey clay and concrete tiles, flat roofs and the roof space, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and debris building up in roof valleys.
Some older homes in villages like Hurstbourne Priors 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Hurstbourne Priors needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Places near Hurstbourne Priors
Also in Hurstbourne Priors
Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes, and some have Kent peg tiles held by pegs. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip.
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts with the stack outside. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Your questions about roof surveys in Hurstbourne Priors
Can a landlord with a rental near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Hurstbourne Priors?
Yes, Hurstbourne Priors is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Will you climb onto the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from ground level, windows and the roof space.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.

Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Hurstbourne Priors
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Testbourne Community School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

When to book a survey in Hurstbourne Priors
Some damage starts inside the loft space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak, and it needs a different fix.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What a roof survey does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
