About our roof survey in Wadwick
There is 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. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on any day of the week, so it is easy to find a day that suits. If you are worried about blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Wadwick, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Wadwick
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Historic houses such as Highclere Castle, about 3.8 miles north, show how far back building around Wadwick goes. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.

Wadwick: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is Wadwick within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
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 will need a RICS survey as well.

A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

Why it is worth a survey now in Wadwick
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wadwick can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: 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.
Why us?
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- An independent look at the roof
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help

What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Wadwick frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at 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 photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave side gates unlocked

Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- A full building survey of the property
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Natural slate
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Flat roofs
- The roof space
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Lead flashings
Tips from our surveys
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- File the report with your home documents
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.
Common roof problems in Wadwick
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It’s often mistaken for a leak.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Worn or blocked valleys
Landlords with a home close to Whitchurch (Hampshire) station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
