Roof survey in Worting, Hampshire
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings for Worting, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
What we’re asked to look at in Worting
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Standing water on a flat roof
The streets around a church such as Church of St Thomas A Becket are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the survey won’t cover
- When you’ll get the report
- Are they insured for the work?
- Is VAT included in the price?
Roof survey in Worting: what you get
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We’re frequently asked to look into lifted, split or missing lead flashings and standing water on a flat roof, on natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and clay and concrete tiles.
In a smaller place like Worting, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Worting: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Worting?
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.
I let a flat near Basingstoke station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Worting?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at, as far as we can safely see them. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
Natural slate
Inside the loft space, we check what’s under the slates. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Worting
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With The Vyne about 3.7 miles north-east, Worting sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Basingstoke station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Malls, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Worting is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.

Why get it checked now?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We check them before they cause trouble. Homes in smaller places like Worting can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
