About roof surveys in GU31
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey the roof space, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaking gutter joints and downpipes and flashings that have come away from the wall.
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.

Roof surveys across GU31: local notes
From Petersfield, Buriton and Sheet to its smaller places, buildings across GU31 have roofs of every age. The usual weak points are fixings, flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Several airports in London and South East England have flight restriction zones around them, so every drone flight in GU31 is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Flights that need permission only go ahead once it is given.
Petersfield: The streets around a church such as St Peter's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Uppark, about 4.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Petersfield. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.
How we price roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How big the roof is
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- What made you get in touch
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The property’s address and postcode
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A small roof defect typically gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Landlords, agents and block managers in GU31
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant.
Useful tips for GU31 property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Your questions about roof surveys in GU31
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Do you work in GU31?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes GU31.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
