How a roof survey works in Stonymarsh
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends, so it is easy to find a day that suits. If you’re worried about cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Stonymarsh are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What a roof survey looks like in Stonymarsh
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Mottisfont Abbey, about 0.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stonymarsh. If you own one of the older houses, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Why act early in Stonymarsh
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time. In a small place like Stonymarsh, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Useful tips for Stonymarsh property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.

Your questions about roof surveys in Stonymarsh
Will you come out to Stonymarsh?
Yes, Stonymarsh is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can a landlord with a rental near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it is safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Stonymarsh?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Stonymarsh
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Stonymarsh, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
