Your questions about roof surveys in Winchfield
Will you come out to Winchfield?
Yes, Winchfield is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Winchfield station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it is safe. We also use views from ground level, windows and the roof space.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
How a roof survey works in Winchfield
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where conditions allow. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. Common reasons to book are ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, on clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
Your report arrives by email, with photos of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English.
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.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Winchfield
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Winchfield
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Winchfield station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Oakwood Infant School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack, as far as we can safely see them. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded.
How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Winchfield, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

When you need someone else

- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- A structural engineer’s report
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- The roof space
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Lead flashings
- Flat roofs
- Natural slate
- Chimney stacks
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
