About roof surveys in GU35

We survey roofs in GU35 and across London and the South East. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We survey flat roofs, the roof space and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.

When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.

  1. You pick the package that suits your roof.
  2. On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
  3. We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
  4. Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
  5. You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.

Landmarks near Bordon

Around Bordon, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Bordon Infant School, St Mark's Sacred Church and Mill Chase Academy and the streets around them. Bordon’s nearest station is Liphook station, about 4.1 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find The Romany Museum (3.6 miles west) and Chase Community Hospital (0.6 miles south). Not far away are Selborne Hill and Deadwater Valley.

Homes and roofs across GU35

Older homes across GU35 often keep chimney stacks long after the fires went out, and their flashings and pointing need checking like any other part of the roof. Valleys, gutters and fixings follow close behind.

London and the South East mix slate and clay tile roofs on older homes with concrete tiles on many later ones. That variety shapes every survey in GU35.

Bordon: Anyone responsible for a site like Bordon Infant School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Take an older house close to St Mark's Sacred Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Landlord and commercial surveys in GU35

Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in GU35. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Why act early?

A small roof defect usually gets bigger. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.

Before you book any surveyor

  • What exactly goes into their report
  • How much experience they have with roofs like yours
  • What follow-up you get after the report
  • Are they insured for the work?

How the survey changes by roof type

Natural slate

Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but its nails often corrode first. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates.

Concrete interlocking tiles

Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles, especially at the verges and ridge.

Practical tips

A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:

  • Move stored items away from the loft hatch
  • Look for debris in the garden after high winds
  • Let us know about past leaks
  • Stay off ladders and the roof

Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.

After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.

What affects the price in GU35

Several things affect the price of a survey:

  • The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
  • The size of the roof
  • If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings

Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Helping us price your survey

Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:

  • Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
  • Your timetable, such as an exchange date
  • Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
  • Where water is showing inside, if it is

We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

GU35 questions

Which days do you carry out surveys?

We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.

Will you fly a drone over my roof?

Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.

Do I need to be at home?

That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.

What’s covered in a roof inspection?

Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.

How long does the visit take?

On site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Report times depend on the package.

Do you cover GU35?

Yes, we do. GU35 is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.

Can you survey in bad weather?

Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
