About our roof survey in Wildhern
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We are often asked to look into valley linings that have cracked or split and loose chimney pots, on flat roofs, natural slate and chimney stacks.
Older buildings in small places like Wildhern 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 frequently expected.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Wildhern, 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.
- 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.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Advice
Local roofs in Wildhern
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hatherden Church of England Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Andover station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Wildhern is about 3 miles north of Andover, in Hampshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Wildhern can all book roof surveys. Wildhern is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work for roof surveys. Southampton is in our area too.
We work across the SP11 postcode area for roof surveys and the streets around it. We also cover Upper Enham (1 mile south-east), Enham Alamein (1 mile south-east), Little London (2 miles east), Knights Enham (2 miles south-east) and Smannell (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Andover (3 miles south), Hyde (15 miles south-east), Tidworth (7 miles west), Weeke (15 miles south-east), Kempshott (15 miles east) and Ludgershall (5 miles west).
What’s near Wildhern
We work in homes and buildings around The Hare & Hounds pub and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Andover station, about 3.1 miles south. Well-known places in the area include Finkley Down Farm Museum (3.1 miles south-east) and Andover War Memorial Hospital (2.8 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Anton Lakes and Mill Lake.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Wildhern
By the time water marks a ceiling, it’s frequently been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. For older village homes like those around Wildhern, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

What else we do in Wildhern
Wildhern questions
How do I find out if my home in Wildhern is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Wildhern?
Yes. Wildhern is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
When to book a survey in Wildhern
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, particularly near trees.
We are often asked to look at:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
If you live in an older home near Christchurch, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
What to check before booking
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What exactly goes into their report
