Hurstbourne Tarrant Roof Survey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Hurstbourne Tarrant, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Get in touch for a price.
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
Why act early in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. An overflow there sends water indoors. We check them before they cause trouble. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hurstbourne Tarrant can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

How a roof survey works in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages often have flat roofs in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. They’re included alongside the main roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof normally wears out sooner than a pitched one, so they deserve a proper look. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. If you’re worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and debris building up in roof valleys, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Hurstbourne Tarrant: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Andover station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Hurstbourne Tarrant?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Hurstbourne Tarrant?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we will say so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Hurstbourne Tarrant often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- File the report with your home documents
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Mention any damp patches as you book
Keep the report with your property records. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Hurstbourne Tarrant
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building like Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
