Roof survey in Overton, Hampshire
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Overton from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Roof survey in Overton: what you get
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, and the roof space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. Common reasons to book are loose chimney pots and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, on clay and concrete tiles, chimney stacks and the roof space.
In a smaller place like Overton, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Questions from Overton
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Overton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Overton listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Do you look in the loft space?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
How much does a roof survey cost in Overton?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it’s agreed before booking.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We do not provide structural calculations.
Do you need a roof survey in Overton?
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, wetting timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak, and it needs a different fix.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Questions to ask before booking
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Will the report include photos?
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Overton, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, 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.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Prices for roof surveys in Overton
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How big the roof is
- Which survey package you book
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Anything about access we should know
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Why act early in Overton
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. In a smaller place like Overton, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Prices that include VAT
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What a roof survey looks like in Overton
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you let a flat or house near Overton station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you look after a building like Overton Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
