Roof survey in Sarisbury Green
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. If you’ve noticed blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and valley linings that have cracked or split, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Sarisbury Green, 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. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. A visit to Sarisbury Green is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- 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.

Your questions about roof surveys in Sarisbury Green
I let a flat near Swanwick station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Sarisbury Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted.
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We look for the likely route in.
Do you need a roof survey in Sarisbury Green?
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
If you let a flat or house near Swanwick station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Will the report include photos?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How soon the report will arrive

Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Roof surveys around Sarisbury Green
Sarisbury Green lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where wind off 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 high wind or heavy rain. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Sarisbury Infant School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
