Roof survey in Ludgershall
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. Typical surveys look at leaking gutter joints and downpipes and loose chimney pots, across natural slate, chimney stacks and ridges, hips and valleys.
In a smaller place like Ludgershall, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A careful look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What else we do in Ludgershall
How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but its nails often corrode first. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, particularly at the verges and ridge.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. An overflow there sends water indoors. We look at them before they cause trouble. With lower homes, common in places like Ludgershall, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Signs you need a roof survey in Ludgershall
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ludgershall Castle Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What exactly goes into their report
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a survey in Ludgershall, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey

Advice
Ludgershall questions
Is Ludgershall in the area you cover?
Yes, Ludgershall is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
Is my home in Ludgershall listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
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.
Roof surveys in Ludgershall: local notes
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
