Roof survey in Upper Enham, Hampshire
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Upper Enham, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Worn or blocked valleys
Roof survey in Upper Enham: what you get
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, 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. If you’ve noticed blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and debris building up in roof valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Upper Enham homes and their roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church such as Saint George are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Upper Enham is about 3 miles north of Andover, in Hampshire. Upper Enham is part of the area we cover as part of our work across London and South East England. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small. You can also see our page for Southampton.
Roof surveys in SP11 are booked the same way as anywhere else. Local streets include Dunhills Lane, Maccallum Road and Green Drove, and we cover them all. We also cover Enham Alamein (1 mile south), Little London (1 mile east), Smannell (1 mile south-east), Wildhern (1 mile north-west) and Knights Enham (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Winchester (15 miles south-east), Andover (3 miles south), Hyde (14 miles south-east), Tidworth (8 miles west), Weeke (14 miles south-east) and Kempshott (14 miles east).
Near you in Upper Enham
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The Hare & Hounds pub. Upper Enham’s nearest station is Andover station, roughly 2.8 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Finkley Down Farm Museum (2.1 miles south) and Andover War Memorial Hospital (2.6 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Anton Lakes and Mill Lake.
What we cannot see
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)

Upper Enham questions
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Is Upper Enham within the area you cover?
Yes, Upper Enham is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does a roof survey take?
The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We will give you an idea of timing when you book.
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.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Common roof problems in Upper Enham
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable membranes only appeared in the UK in the late 1990s, so many older roofs have bitumen felt underlay, and some very old roofs have no underlay at all. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
What affects the price in Upper Enham

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Upper Enham, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Why it’s worth a survey now in Upper Enham
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Older and listed buildings around Upper Enham may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What you get with us
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- An independent look at the roof

Roof by roof
Natural slate
Inside the loft space, we check what’s under the slates. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs, and we note its condition.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
