Roof survey in Whitehill, Hampshire
A careful look at the roof at your property in Whitehill, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
Roof survey in Whitehill
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages often have flat roofs in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. They’re included alongside the main roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof typically wears out sooner than a pitched one. Felt frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber can last 30 to 50. We’re often asked to look into gutters that overflow in heavy rain and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, across the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate.
Around Whitehill, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Whitehill
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. They get particular attention in every survey.
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
We email the report to you. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Compare each report with the last.

Questions from Whitehill
How do I find out if my home in Whitehill is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Whitehill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How long does the visit take?
The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea of timing when booking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where it applies.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What a roof survey looks like in Whitehill
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mark's Sacred Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Take a building like Woodlea Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Liphook station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Whitehill, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, 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.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
