Sutton Scotney Roof Survey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings for Sutton Scotney, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
About our roof survey in Sutton Scotney
Everything we check, we check safely: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey flat roofs, natural slate and the roof space, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Sutton Scotney, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why it is worth a survey now in Sutton Scotney
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. For an older or listed building in a place like Sutton Scotney, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

Sutton Scotney homes and their roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you own a rental within reach of Micheldever station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take an older house close to Ebenezer Methodist Chapel: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

FAQs for Sutton Scotney
How do I find out if my home in Sutton Scotney is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can a landlord with a rental near Micheldever station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you work in Sutton Scotney?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Sutton Scotney.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Rural addresses near Sutton Scotney can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
