Roof survey in Ibthorpe
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where conditions allow. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You don’t need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. If you’ve noticed condensation or damp timbers in the loft and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space alike.
Older buildings in small places like Ibthorpe may be 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 often expected.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Honest limits

- Asbestos testing of any kind
- A structural engineer’s report
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future

Common questions in Ibthorpe
Will you come out to Ibthorpe?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ibthorpe?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about 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.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How much does a roof survey cost in Ibthorpe?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
What does a roof survey include?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
How long does a roof survey take?
On site, it typically takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Report times depend on the package.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we will say so.
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
Do you need a roof survey in Ibthorpe?
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
Historic houses like Stargroves, about 4.9 miles north-east, show how far back building around Ibthorpe goes. If you own one of the older houses, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos

Roof surveys in Ibthorpe: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
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. The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.
