About our roof survey in Leigh Park
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey the roof space, flat roofs and natural slate, and people most often book us about gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and worn lead at chimneys and abutments.
Around Leigh Park, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
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.

What we need to know
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- What made you get in touch
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Leigh Park
Leigh Park lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Historic houses such as Warblington Castle, about 1.9 miles south-east, show how far back building around Leigh Park goes. If your house is among the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. Anyone responsible for a site like Riders Infant School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark such as St Francis, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaks rarely show up straight 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. Homes in smaller places like Leigh Park can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. A visit to Leigh Park 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.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are checked. We note any lean or loose pots.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Questions from Leigh Park
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Leigh Park?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Havant station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How soon is the report ready?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is emailed to you.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How long does the visit take?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
