Useful tips for Mislingford property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Mention any damp patches as you book
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It’s a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Make sure insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
About our roof survey in Mislingford
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. 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.
Older buildings in small places like Mislingford may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Local roofs in Mislingford
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Swanmore College of Technology, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What we are asked to look at in Mislingford
Slates and tiles often outlast the fixings that hold them. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone.
Common reasons to book include:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
For landlords with property near Botley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a 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 check the roof.
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. We’ll tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Cracks in a lead valley can send water into the roof.
FAQs for Mislingford
Is Mislingford within the area you cover?
Yes, Mislingford is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mislingford?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We send it by email.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Mislingford?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is 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.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Mislingford, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
