Roof survey in North Hayling
Our roof surveys cover North Hayling and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We survey flat roofs, chimney stacks and ridges, hips and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and condensation or damp timbers in the loft.
In a small place like North Hayling, 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What affects the price in North Hayling
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What made you get in touch
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
FAQs for North Hayling
Is North Hayling within the area you cover?
Yes, North Hayling is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in North Hayling?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
When will the report arrive?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. We send it by email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we will explain what’s needed.
How much does a roof survey cost in North Hayling?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it is safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Keep the report with your property records
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.
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.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Letting agents and landlords in North Hayling book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around North Hayling can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What a roof survey looks like in North Hayling
North Hayling lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Historic houses such as Warblington Castle, about 1.5 miles north, show how far back building around North Hayling goes. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. If you look after a building like The Hayling College, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
