New Alresford questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in New Alresford?
We do. The survey and report are the same in New Alresford as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in New Alresford is listed?
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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
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.
How soon is the report ready?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.

In a smaller place like New Alresford, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What else we do in New Alresford
What we’re asked to look at in New Alresford
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable membranes only appeared in the UK in the late 1990s, so many older roofs have bitumen felt underlay, and some very old roofs have no underlay at all. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
Look out for signs like these:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Worn or blocked valleys
Anyone responsible for a site like Sun Hill Junior School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Why act early in New Alresford
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You’ll know what a buyer’s survey might pick up. Blocked gutters on homes around New Alresford overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

What a roof survey looks like in New Alresford
With Hinton Ampner House about 3 miles south, New Alresford sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What this survey cannot tell you

- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- A full building survey of the property
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we check
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Flat roofs
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Chimney stacks
- The roof space
- Lead flashings
- Natural slate
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A visit to a smaller place like New Alresford is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Photograph stains when they appear
- File the report with your home documents
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
We email the report to you. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
What affects the price in New Alresford
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
