Roof survey in Upper Clatford
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs 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 applicable. Each one comes with a written report. If you’re worried about cracked mortar along the ridge and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Upper Clatford, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Cottages and farmhouses around Upper Clatford frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Keep the report with your property records
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Make sure insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
Signs you need a roof survey in Upper Clatford
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Roof surveys around Upper Clatford
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. 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 look after a building like Balksbury Junior School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Upper Clatford questions
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Upper Clatford is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It is not a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We do not give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
