Roof survey in Leverton: what you get
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. If you’re worried about water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and debris building up in roof valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Leverton, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a small place like Leverton, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us 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 ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Related advice
Why act early in Leverton
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or miss the fault that matters. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. Around Leverton, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

Different roofs, different checks
Natural slate
Inside the roof space, we check what’s under the slates. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none, and we note its condition.
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts with the stack outside. We look for the likely route in.
What a roof survey looks like in Leverton
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. With Ramsbury Manor about 4.6 miles west, Leverton sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Hungerford station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take a building like Chilton Foliat Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Look at your roof from the ground after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
Leverton questions
I let a flat near Hungerford station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Leverton within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It is not a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing is not part of our service. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
