Local roofs and buyers in Bordon
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mark's Sacred Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. For landlords with property near Liphook station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

New roof snagging in Bordon: what you get
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible, and we check the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and signs of condensation in the roof space.
In a smaller place like Bordon, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. On a bungalow or cottage around Bordon, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Questions from Bordon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bordon?
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.
Is Bordon within the area you cover?
Yes, Bordon is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
You receive a photo-illustrated written report of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.

How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Bordon is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking before the day
Booking a survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
