Roof survey in Odiham, Hampshire
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings for Odiham, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
Roof survey in Odiham
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey the roof space, flat roofs and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most frequently book us about cracked mortar along the ridge and worn lead at chimneys and abutments.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Odiham drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
You receive the findings 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.

What this survey can’t tell you
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding

Useful tips for Odiham property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- File the report with your home documents
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see each defect and its location, which makes quotes easier to compare.
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.
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a survey in Odiham, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
Your questions about roof surveys in Odiham
I let a flat near Hook station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Odiham?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It is not a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from the ground, windows and the roof space, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
Roof surveys in Odiham: local notes
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. RAF Odiham is about 2 miles from Odiham. Where the drone is part of the survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
If you own a rental within reach of Hook station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take a building like Mayhill Junior School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to All Saints Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. They get particular attention in every survey.
Natural slate
From the loft, we check the underside of a slate roof. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Odiham
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
