Roof survey in Kings Worthy
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you’ve noticed water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and flashings that have come away from the wall, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Kings Worthy, many roofs stand in the open, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Different roofs, different checks
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges frequently cracks on tiled roofs. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar.
Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. Upstands and outlets are checked too, since leaks often start there.
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Kings Worthy can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets in another room

- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

Kings Worthy homes and their roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Older buildings may be listed or sit 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Kings Worthy Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Why get it checked now?
Leaks rarely show up right away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner. For older village homes like those around Kings Worthy, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Why book with us
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Packages from £150, with VAT included

It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
