Roof survey in Inhurst: what you get
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. Typical surveys look at ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and debris building up in roof valleys, across clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and ridges, hips and valleys.
Village roofs often 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

What we are asked to look at in Inhurst
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, especially near trees.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
For landlords with property near Midgham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Will the report include photos?

Common questions in Inhurst
How do I find out if my home in Inhurst is listed?
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.
I let a flat near Midgham station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Do you work in Inhurst?
Yes. We survey roofs in Inhurst and the rest of Hampshire. To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Inhurst
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you look after a building such as The Hurst School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live in an older home near Saint Mary's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Landmarks near Inhurst
Typical jobs here are in homes near Burnham Copse Primary School and the streets around them. The closest station to Inhurst is Midgham station, about 2.8 miles north. A little further out are Park Prewett Hospital (5.8 miles south-east) and Calleva Museum (3.5 miles east). Open spaces near Inhurst include Thatcham Reed Beds.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a village or hamlet like Inhurst, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

Useful tips for Inhurst property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that is not clear.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
How we price roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How big the roof is
- Height and safe access
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What to tell us when you get in touch
We will usually ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- The address and postcode of the property
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
What we cannot see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.
