Grateley questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Grateley?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Grateley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it is a roof survey. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey and does not replace a structural engineer’s report.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Grateley
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs, and people most frequently book us about flashings that have come away and leaking joints at party walls.
In a small place like Grateley, many roofs stand in the open, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How we price landlord roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Which survey package you book
- How big the roof is
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
A few details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The property’s address and postcode

What we are asked to look at in Grateley
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their report turnaround times

Grateley homes and their roofs
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Grateley Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Grateley can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

For landlords and managing agents
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Deal with urgent items first
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem normally is.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Grateley
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Older cottages and farmhouses around Grateley can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
