Roof survey in Nyewood, Hampshire
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out roof surveys in Nyewood.
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Check we can open the loft hatch
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.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.
Roof survey in Nyewood
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We are often asked to look into leaning or weathered chimney stacks and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, across ridges, hips and valleys, the roof space and chimney stacks.
Some older homes in villages like Nyewood are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a hamlet or village like Nyewood, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Booking a survey

If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- The roof space
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Natural slate
- Lead flashings
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Nyewood questions
Do you cover smaller places like Nyewood?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Petersfield station?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Signs you need a roof survey in Nyewood
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Loose chimney pots
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Debris building up in roof valleys
For landlords with property near Petersfield station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- When you will get the report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What the survey won’t cover
- Will the report include photos?
Why act early in Nyewood
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the loft space, we can frequently spot it sooner. In a small place like Nyewood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
