What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a small place like Warnford, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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 each safe vantage point 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.
How to prepare
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

About our roof survey in Warnford
We survey roofs in Warnford and across London and the South East. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you are ready to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. If you’ve noticed torn or sagging underlay and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks alike.
Somewhere as small as Warnford, 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 frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Warnford
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. About 3.1 miles north-west lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Warnford has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church such as Church of Our Lady are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Warnford is about 8 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire.

FAQs for Warnford
Do you carry out roof surveys in Warnford?
Yes, Warnford is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Warnford listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
When will the report arrive?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long does the visit take?
The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Let us know about past leaks
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What happens if roof problems are left?
It’s easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Older and listed buildings around Warnford may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
