Wondering about the roof at a property in Penton Mewsey? You can book a roof survey in Penton Mewsey and across Hampshire.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Penton Mewsey
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. 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 natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about cracked mortar along the ridge and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles.
Older buildings in small places like Penton Mewsey may be 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?

No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.

Allow about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We’ll give you an idea of timing as you book.

Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Catching it early means less to put right. Older cottages and farmhouses around Penton Mewsey can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Mention any damp patches as you book
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Check insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
