Longparish homes and their roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Whitchurch (Hampshire) station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Longparish Church of England Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

How a roof survey works in Longparish
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. If you’ve noticed blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and torn or sagging underlay, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space alike.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead flashings seal chimneys, walls and abutments. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped.
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts with the stack outside. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a small place like Longparish, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
Common questions in Longparish
Is my home in Longparish listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Longparish within the area you cover?
Yes. Longparish is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
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. We send it by email.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.

Why get it checked now?
If you are planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them. Older cottages and farmhouses around Longparish can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
