Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Segensworth
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. If you are worried about worn or blocked valleys and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, on chimney stacks, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles alike.
Somewhere as small as Segensworth, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. For older village homes like those around Segensworth, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Common roof problems in Segensworth
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack. Lead is also a target for theft.
Look out for signs like these:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Torn or sagging underlay
Landlords with a home close to Swanwick station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Segensworth questions
Is Segensworth within the area you cover?
Yes, Segensworth is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is my home in Segensworth listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the roof space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Segensworth, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Find any records of previous roof work

Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Roof area
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you contact us
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What’s prompted the survey
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The kind of building and roof involved

Roof surveys around Segensworth
Segensworth is within about 3 miles of the coast, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. 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 Cornerstone CofE (VA) Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For an older house near a landmark such as St John, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
