Roof survey in Titchfield, Hampshire
Roof surveys in Titchfield, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Titchfield
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. If you are worried about lifted, split or missing lead flashings and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Titchfield are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Roof surveys around Titchfield
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Titchfield, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Titchfield Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For businesses in and around places such as Fareham Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Titchfield is about 2 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. In Titchfield, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Titchfield is one of the places in Hampshire where we work for roof surveys. For surveys nearby, see our Portsmouth page.
Postcode districts we cover here for roof surveys: PO14 and PO15. If you need a roof survey at a property on High Street, Sandy Lane and Garstons Close or a nearby road, we can help. Nearby, we also carry out roof surveys in Catisfield (1 mile east), Little Posbrook (1 mile south), Titchfield Park (1 mile north), Heathfield (1 mile east) and Titchfield Common (1 mile west). Further out, we also cover Winchester (15 miles north), Gosport (5 miles south-east), Havant (11 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north-west), Horndean (11 miles north-east) and Totton (13 miles north-west).

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Titchfield, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

FAQs for Titchfield
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Titchfield?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Do you cover smaller places like Titchfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How quickly will I get the report?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
What this survey can’t tell you
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

How we price roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
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.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Why act early in Titchfield
Leaks rarely show up right away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner. Older and listed buildings around Titchfield may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
