Middle Wallop Roof Survey

How a roof survey works in Middle Wallop
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photos 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. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. If you’ve noticed crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and cracked mortar along the ridge, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and natural slate alike.
Some older homes in villages like Middle Wallop are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
We email the report to you, with photos of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
Roof by roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That’s why we look at them closely.
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but its nails often corrode first. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates.
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

What a roof survey looks like in Middle Wallop
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you look after a building like Wallop Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Common questions in Middle Wallop
Do you cover smaller places like Middle Wallop?
Yes, Middle Wallop is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Grateley station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How long will you be at the property?
On site, it usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Report times depend on the package.
Will you climb onto the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from the ground, windows and the loft space.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Middle Wallop
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
What we are asked to look at in Middle Wallop
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, wetting timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Middle Wallop, access is typically 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 arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
