Wyck Roof Survey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Wyck. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Loose chimney pots
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Roof survey in Wyck
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you’ve noticed slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and loose chimney pots, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on clay and concrete tiles, chimney stacks and the roof space alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Your questions about roof surveys in Wyck
I let a flat near Alton station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wyck?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Wyck in your area?
Yes. We carry out roof surveys in Wyck, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
When will the report arrive?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. We send it by email.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Older and listed buildings around Wyck may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- An independent view of the roof
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Visits on any day of the week
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a hamlet or village like Wyck, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Useful tips for Wyck property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Wyck
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Wyck homes and their roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you let a flat or house near Alton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Common roof problems in Wyck
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, wetting timbers and insulation. It’s frequently mistaken for a leak.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Loose chimney pots
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
If you look after a building like Binsted Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether you get a written report with photos
