How a roof survey works in Nob's Crook
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there’s safe access. You get a report with photographs and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. Typical surveys look at ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, across the roof space, flat roofs and natural slate.
Somewhere as small as Nob's Crook, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
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.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.

What a roof survey looks like in Nob's Crook
Nob's Crook is about 1 mile from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport. If your survey includes the drone, the exact boundary is checked for the address first. About 4.6 miles south-west lies South Stoneham House, a reminder of how long the area around Nob's Crook has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Take a building like Colden Common Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Eastleigh station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Useful tips for Nob's Crook property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Photograph stains when they appear
- File the report with your home documents
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A small roof defect usually gets bigger. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Around Nob's Crook, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
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.

The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older roofs in small places like Nob's Crook can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Landlord and commercial surveys in Nob's Crook
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
How we price roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:

A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:

Your questions about roof surveys in Nob's Crook
Can a landlord with a rental near Eastleigh station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is drone flying allowed in Nob's Crook?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. The flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport comes within about 1 mile of Nob's Crook. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Nob's Crook?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it is safe to do so. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
