Signs you need a roof survey in Wherwell Wood
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wherwell Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
Roof survey in Wherwell Wood
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages frequently have flat roofs in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, including signs of standing water, splits and tired upstands. A flat roof usually wears out sooner than a pitched one. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. Typical surveys look at leaning or weathered chimney stacks and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, across clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings.
Older buildings in small places like Wherwell Wood may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Wherwell Wood
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- File the report with your home documents
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Roof surveys around Wherwell Wood
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Catching it early means less to put right. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: 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.
