Roof survey in Middleton, Hampshire

Roof survey in Middleton: what you get
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the roof space where there is safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are worn lead at chimneys and abutments and cracked mortar along the ridge.
In a village or hamlet like Middleton, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why it is worth a survey now in Middleton
By the time water marks a ceiling, it’s often been getting in for a while. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the loft space, we can frequently spot it sooner. For an older or listed building in a place like Middleton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Middleton 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.
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. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Nicholas, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Middleton is about 4 miles east of Andover, in Hampshire. In Middleton, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Middleton is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. There is also a page for Southampton.

- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

What else we do in Middleton
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Middleton, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Do you need a roof survey in Middleton?
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, especially near trees.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Worn or blocked valleys
For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Are they insured for the work?
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Middleton: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Middleton?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Middleton?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How long does the visit take?
The visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only when it’s safe. We also use views from ground level, windows and the roof space.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
