How a roof survey works in Isington
Our roof surveys cover Isington and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you are ready to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We survey natural slate, flat roofs and lead flashings, and people most often book us about blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.
Some older homes in villages like Isington are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
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.

Useful tips for Isington property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Compare each report with the last.
Prices for roof surveys in Isington
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Roof surveys in Isington: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Farnham Castle lies about 4.6 miles north-east, so building around Isington goes back a long way. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done. The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Cross are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Isington is about 4 miles north-east of Alton, in Hampshire. Isington is one of many places we visit across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. There is also a page for Guildford.

How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Isington 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 let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Common questions in Isington
Can a landlord with a rental near Bentley (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Do you cover smaller places like Isington?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Isington
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
What happens if roof problems are left?
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than waiting for something to fail. For an older or listed building in a place like Isington, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
