About our roof survey in Winchfield Hurst
Our roof surveys cover Winchfield Hurst and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us. If you’ve noticed water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Winchfield Hurst are 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant.
Tips that help
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like Winchfield Hurst needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Common roof problems in Winchfield Hurst
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
What to check before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Roof surveys in Winchfield Hurst: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. 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.
Homes near green spaces like Calthorpe Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Common questions in Winchfield Hurst
Do you cover smaller places like Winchfield Hurst?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Winchfield Hurst listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you climb onto the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you look in the roof space?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What do you check on a roof survey?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
