Why act early in Hinchley Wood
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Around Hinchley Wood, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
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. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- 98% of clients satisfied
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

New roof snagging in Hinchley Wood: what you get
Roof work frequently leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. It is all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. Typical surveys look at cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, across new-build homes, replacement roofs and new flat roofs.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Hinchley Wood, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from ground level, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. That applies whether you are buying in Hinchley Wood or checking a new roof there. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a survey in Hinchley Wood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Common questions in Hinchley Wood

We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hinchley Wood?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.

Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.

The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
