About our roof survey in Kempshott
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. If you’ve noticed worn or blocked valleys and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, we can find out what’s behind it.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Kempshott drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Kempshott
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. A visit to Kempshott is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- 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 look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

FAQs for Kempshott
Will you come out to Kempshott?
Yes, Kempshott is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Kempshott listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We do not provide structural calculations.
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.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Why get it checked now?
If you’re planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Kempshott, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We look for the likely route in.
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, particularly at the verges and ridge.
Prices for roof surveys in Kempshott
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- The address and postcode of the property
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The kind of building and roof involved
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
What a roof survey looks like in Kempshott
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Kempshott has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 4.9 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Saint Mark's Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you run a business near The Malls, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Landlords with a home close to Basingstoke station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
