Roof survey in Wootton, Hampshire
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Wootton, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Loose chimney pots
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Cottages and farmhouses around Wootton frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Jot down any questions you want answered
How to book
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wootton
Our roof surveys cover Wootton and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’re often asked to look into water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, on lead flashings, the roof space and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Wootton, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Roof surveys in Wootton: local notes
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Wootton, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you live in an older home near St John, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to New Milton station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Common questions in Wootton
Do you cover smaller places like Wootton?
Yes, Wootton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near New Milton station?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. It’s emailed to you.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.

What a survey costs
To price your survey, we look at:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you need a roof survey in Wootton?
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
Avon Tyrrell House, about 3.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wootton. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Keep the report with your property records
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Why act early in Wootton
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. Older and listed buildings around Wootton may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
