Itchen Stoke: your questions answered
Will you come out to Itchen Stoke?
Yes, Itchen Stoke is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Itchen Stoke?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Itchen Stoke is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We send it by email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it is safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How a roof survey works in Itchen Stoke
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. If you’ve noticed condensation or damp timbers in the loft and loose chimney pots, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Itchen Stoke 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roof surveys in Itchen Stoke: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Perins School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Historic houses like Hinton Ampner House, about 4 miles south-east, show how far back building around Itchen Stoke goes. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.

What this survey cannot tell you
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- A full building survey of the property
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Clay and concrete tiles
- The roof space
- Lead flashings
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Chimney stacks
- Natural slate
- Flat roofs
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- File the report with your home documents
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, tell us about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Checking the roof from the ground
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. Upstands and outlets are checked too, since leaks often start there.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years, and they can crack.
What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. For a village or hamlet like Itchen Stoke, the journey is planned in advance: tell us 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’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know 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 the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Getting a price
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
