Common questions in Ludgershall
Do you cover Ludgershall?
Yes, Ludgershall is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I find out if my home in Ludgershall is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you look in the roof space?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
About our storm damage roof report in Ludgershall
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey flat roofs, flashings and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are loose or torn flashings and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
For a small place like Ludgershall, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Ludgershall
About 3.1 miles south-west lies Boarstall Tower, a reminder of how long the area around Ludgershall has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
When you need someone else
A survey is a careful look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer

What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. Those photos show the damage as it was. Older and listed buildings around Ludgershall may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
