Surveys for landlords and agents in Springvale
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Roof survey in Springvale
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you’ve noticed worn or blocked valleys and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and the roof space alike.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Springvale drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Springvale
If you’re planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. Around Springvale, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- Surveys seven days a week
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- 5,000+ surveys completed

Springvale: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Springvale?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Winchester station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
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.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What we can’t see
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

How we price roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How big the roof is
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What’s prompted the survey
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Springvale is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.

Advice
Roof by roof
Natural slate
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs. Widespread slipping typically points to corroded nails, which we describe in the report.
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets.
Local roofs in Springvale
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building like Kings Worthy Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For landlords with property near Winchester station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church Hall, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
