Roof Survey in Peartree Green
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings for Peartree Green, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
When to book a survey in Peartree Green
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot, letting tiles move.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Take a building like Ludlow Infant Academy: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

About our roof survey in Peartree Green
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photos 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. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We survey clay and concrete tiles, chimney stacks and the roof space, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are standing water on a flat roof and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Peartree Green drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Roof surveys around Peartree Green
Peartree Green is within about 2 miles of the coast, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. With Medieval Merchant's House about 1.3 miles west, Peartree Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church like Peartree Green United Reform Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Woolston station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Why it is worth a survey now in Peartree Green
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Homes in smaller places like Peartree Green can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted.
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and the South East. Widespread slipping usually points to corroded nails, which we describe in the report.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords, agents and building managers in Peartree Green and across Southampton can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
The survey, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Homes around Peartree Green often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Peartree Green questions
Is my home in Peartree Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Woolston station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you cover Peartree Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Peartree Green.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Do you test for asbestos?
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 does a roof survey include?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings

- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
