Roof survey in West Tisted: what you get
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We survey flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and worn lead at chimneys and abutments.
Some older homes in villages like West Tisted are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Local roofs in West Tisted
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. The wider area around West Tisted has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 3.6 miles west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
West Tisted is about 7 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Bookings from West Tisted are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Our Hampshire coverage includes West Tisted. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

Do you need a roof survey in West Tisted?
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their insurance cover
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around West Tisted can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Why act early in West Tisted
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or miss the fault that matters. We tell you what’s really needed. In a place like West Tisted, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- File the report with your home documents
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. The photos show what we found and where, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Cracks in a lead valley can send water into the roof, and lead is a target for theft.
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We look for the likely route in.
