Roof survey in Tidworth
We survey roofs in Tidworth and across London and the South East. Visits run seven days a week. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Typical surveys look at worn lead at chimneys and abutments and torn or sagging underlay, on chimney stacks, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles.
Houses in smaller places like Tidworth can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

FAQs for Tidworth
Do you cover smaller places like Tidworth?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Tidworth?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Tidworth is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do you look in the roof space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How much does a roof survey cost in Tidworth?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We send it by email.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.

Prices for roof surveys in Tidworth
To price your survey, we check:
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Tidworth
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Leave roof access to professionals
We email the report to you, with photos of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Tidworth
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Do you need a roof survey in Tidworth?
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It is often mistaken for a leak.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Take a building like The Wellington Academy: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. For a survey in Tidworth, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
