Roof Survey in Warblington
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Warblington, with photos and a written report.
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles.
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
Roof survey in Warblington: what you get
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. Typical surveys look at cracked mortar along the ridge and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, across clay and concrete tiles, the roof space and lead flashings.
In a small place like Warblington, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Warblington
Warblington lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Historic houses such as Warblington Castle, about 0.4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Warblington goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Warblington station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live near a park like Eames Farm, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Do you need a roof survey in Warblington?
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack. Missing lead isn’t unusual either, as thieves target it.
Look out for signs like these:
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
Take an older house close to St Thomas à Becket Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Warblington, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Why it is worth a survey now in Warblington
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. A survey sets a baseline, which makes later changes easy to spot. In a small place like Warblington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Common questions in Warblington
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Warblington station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Warblington?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the loft space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
