About our roof survey in Weston
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. Common reasons to book are cracked mortar along the ridge and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, across the roof space, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Weston may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What we’re asked to look at in Weston
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, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone, letting tiles move.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Anyone responsible for a site like Buriton Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What the survey won’t cover
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Mention any damp patches when you book
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see each defect and its location, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older roofs in small places like Weston can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Weston
About 4 miles south-east lies Uppark, a reminder of how long the area around Weston has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Petersfield station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Weston is about 1 mile south-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Weston, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Questions from Weston
Can a landlord with a rental near Petersfield station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Is my home in Weston 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 is worth checking before planning any.
How long will you be at the property?
Allow roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We’ll give you an idea of timing when booking.
Do you work in Weston?
Yes. We survey roofs in Weston and the rest of Hampshire. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move.
Prices for roof surveys in Weston
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
