About our roof survey in Sparsholt
Our roof surveys cover Sparsholt and the wider South East. Visits run seven days a week. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Typical surveys look at torn or sagging underlay and debris building up in roof valleys, on chimney stacks, lead flashings and the roof space.
In a small place like Sparsholt, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Roof surveys in Sparsholt: local notes
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Stephen, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Sparsholt Church of England Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Winchester station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

FAQs for Sparsholt
Do you cover smaller places like Sparsholt?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Sparsholt?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we’ll say so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
When will the report arrive?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a small place like Sparsholt, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets in another room
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Getting a price
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.
What affects the price in Sparsholt
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- House, block, shop or office
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Why get it checked now?
Without a survey, you are guessing at what the roof needs. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. For older village homes like those around Sparsholt, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before you book.
Why book with us
- Prices that include VAT
- Photos and a written report every time
- 20+ years’ experience
- An independent look at the roof
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly, and they can crack.
