Roof survey in Noke Common, Isle of Wight
Need a roof survey in Noke Common? We can help, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Photograph stains when they appear
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.
About our roof survey in Noke Common
Our roof surveys cover Noke Common and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. If you’ve noticed gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and debris building up in roof valleys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Noke Common, 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. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What else we do in Noke Common
Leave it or get it looked at?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Catching it early means less to put right. Older and listed buildings around Noke Common may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Noke Common
Noke Common is within about 3 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Carisbrooke Castle lies about 2.3 miles south, so building around Noke Common goes back a long way. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done. Take a building like Hunnyhill Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live in an older home near Church of St. John the Baptist, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Noke Common is about 2 miles north of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Surveys in Noke Common work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report. Noke Common is one of the towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our Portsmouth page covers surveys nearby.

Noke Common questions
Is my home in Noke Common listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Noke Common?
Yes, Noke Common is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
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. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a village or hamlet like Noke Common, the journey is planned ahead of time: 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 is safe.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- 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
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
