About roof surveys in GU11
We survey roofs in GU11 and across London and South East England. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We survey clay and concrete tiles, the roof space and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters.
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- 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.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Landmarks near Aldershot

Nearby too are Prince Consort's Library (0.7 miles north-west), The Connaught School (1.1 miles south-east) and All Hallows Catholic School (1.1 miles south-west). There is a railway station in Aldershot itself: Aldershot station. A little further out are Royal Army Dental Corps Historical Museum (1.6 miles north) and Farnham Castle (2.7 miles south-west). For a walk, there is Claycart Hill and Rowhill Nature Reserve.
Roof surveys across GU11: local notes
GU11 has everything from older homes with tall chimneys to modern estates. Sooner or later, every roof needs its gutters, flashings and coverings checked.
Several airports in London and South East England have flight restriction zones around them, so every drone flight in GU11 is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Flights that need permission only go ahead once it is given.
Aldershot: Trees in and around Princes Gardens shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Farnham Castle lies about 2.7 miles south-west, so building around Aldershot goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.
For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Natural slate
Inside the loft space, we check what’s under the slates. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none.
When you need someone else
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
Practical tips
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Let us know about past leaks
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Your questions about roof surveys in GU11
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
How do I book a survey in GU11?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Do you cover GU11 for roof surveys?
Yes. We carry out roof surveys in GU11.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
How much does a roof survey cost in GU11?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Do you look in the loft space?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
