Roof survey in North Waltham
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. Typical surveys look at torn or sagging underlay and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, across chimney stacks, the roof space and natural slate.
In a village or hamlet like North Waltham, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Common questions in North Waltham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in North Waltham?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can a landlord with a rental near Micheldever station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you cover North Waltham for roof surveys?
Yes, we do. We carry out roof surveys in North Waltham.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around North Waltham 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 can’t see is noted.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Checking the roof from ground level
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, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Do you need a roof survey in North Waltham?
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak, and it needs a different fix.
Common reasons to book include:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
For landlords with property near Micheldever station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before you book anyone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
What happens if roof problems are left?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm. For older village homes like those around North Waltham, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Roof surveys around North Waltham
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 is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St. Michael's, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like North Waltham Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
