Roof surveys in Stubbington

Roof survey in Stubbington

Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. We survey lead flashings, the roof space and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are worn or blocked valleys and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken.

Around Stubbington, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.

Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we’re asked to look at in Stubbington

Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building.

People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:

  • Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
  • Loose ridge or hip tiles
  • Flashings that have come away from the wall
  • Condensation or damp timbers in the loft

Anyone responsible for a site like Crofton Anne Dale Junior School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What to check before booking

  • Their insurance cover
  • Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
  • Whether VAT is added on top
  • How long the report takes to arrive

What a roof survey includes

Why it’s worth a survey now in Stubbington

Without a survey, you are guessing at what the roof needs. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or miss the fault that matters. We tell you what’s really needed. In a smaller place like Stubbington, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more.

Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Why us?

  • Customer satisfaction of 98%
  • Every finding written up with photos
  • Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays
  • 5,000+ surveys completed

DIY checks: what’s safe

You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

Roof by roof

Clay plain and peg tiles

Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles.

Chimney stacks

Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are checked, as far as we can safely see them. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.

What a roof survey looks like in Stubbington

Stubbington lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.

If you live in an older home near Holy Rood Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Stubbington is about 2 miles south-west of Fareham, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Stubbington as part of our work across London and the South East. Our Hampshire coverage includes Stubbington and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

Every address in PO14 and PO13 is within our area for roof surveys. If you need a roof survey at a property on Park Lane, Croftlands Avenue and Bells Lane or a nearby road, we can help. We also cover the places around Stubbington: Hill Head (1 mile south-west), Little Posbrook (1 mile north-west), Titchfield (2 miles north-west), Catisfield (2 miles north) and Heathfield (2 miles north). Further out, we also cover Gosport (3 miles south-east), Havant (10 miles east), Eastleigh (11 miles north-west), Horndean (11 miles north-east), Totton (14 miles north-west) and Chandler's Ford (13 miles north-west).

Around Stubbington

Other landmarks nearby include Gosport War Memorial Hospital (3.7 miles south-east) and Carron Row Farm Museum (2.5 miles north). Green spaces nearby include West of the River Alver.

What happens on the day

Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Parking around Stubbington is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.

  1. We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
  2. We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
  3. We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
  4. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
  5. We email a report with photos and recommendations.

Before the survey

  • Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
  • Clear the way to the loft hatch
  • Let us know where we can park nearby

Common questions in Stubbington

Is drone flying allowed in Stubbington?

The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Solent Airport is about 1 mile away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.

How do I find out if my home in Stubbington is listed?

Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.

Does someone need to be in?

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 quickly will I get the report?

Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.

Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?

Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.

I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?

Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.

How much is a survey?

Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
