Roof survey in Sandleheath: what you get
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey lead flashings, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and lifted, split or missing lead flashings.
Somewhere as small as Sandleheath, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What we’re asked to look at in Sandleheath
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
If you look after a building like The Burgate School and Sixth Form, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their report turnaround times
- What exactly goes into their report
- What insurance they carry

Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We look for the likely route in.
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead flashings seal chimneys, walls and abutments. Lifted, split or slipped lead is recorded.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Sandleheath
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. 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.
What else we do in Sandleheath
Roof surveys around Sandleheath
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The wider area around Sandleheath has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 3.1 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Sandleheath Uniting Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The size of the roof
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- When you need the report by
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What happens on the day
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so.

Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
