About our roof survey in Nether Wallop
Roofs vary a lot across London and the South East. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. If you’ve noticed leaning or weathered chimney stacks and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Nether Wallop, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Roof surveys around Nether Wallop
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Wallop Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Andrew, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Why act early in Nether Wallop
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We check them before they cause trouble. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Nether Wallop, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it usually takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. For a village or hamlet like Nether Wallop, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey

FAQs for Nether Wallop
Is my home in Nether Wallop listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Grateley station?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
What does a roof survey include?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- How big the roof is
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Nether Wallop
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
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 with less disruption.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- A full building survey of the property
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Clay and concrete tiles
- The roof space
- Chimney stacks
- Lead flashings
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Natural slate
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead-lined valleys and gutters are common on older homes. Worn or split lead lets water straight in, and lead is a target for theft.
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are checked. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
