FAQs for Titchfield Common
Will you come out to Titchfield Common?
Yes, Titchfield Common is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Swanwick station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
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.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What do you check on a roof survey?
All the main parts of the roof: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
How do I book a survey in Titchfield Common?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Roof survey in Titchfield Common: what you get
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. 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’s easy to find a day that suits. If you’ve noticed cracked mortar along the ridge and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, we can find out what’s behind it, on lead flashings, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space alike.
In a smaller place like Titchfield Common, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are normally where the work is. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Roof surveys around Titchfield Common
Titchfield Common is within about 2 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
Anyone responsible for a site like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Swanwick station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Tips from our surveys
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Titchfield Common is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- 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.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Do you need a roof survey in Titchfield Common?
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Lead is also a target for theft.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
For businesses in and around places like Fareham Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How long the report takes to arrive
Why it is worth a survey now in Titchfield Common
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. Around Titchfield Common, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
