About roof surveys in GU46
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. Typical surveys look at debris building up in roof valleys and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, across chimney stacks, flat roofs and ridges, hips and valleys.
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- 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.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How our prices work

Roof surveys across GU46: local notes
Older homes across GU46 frequently keep chimney stacks long after the fires went out, and the lead and mortar around them need watching. Valleys, gutters and fixings follow close behind.
From inner London terraces to Kent oast houses, Sussex tile-hanging and Hampshire thatch, the South East has a huge mix of roofs. Roofs in GU46 are part of that picture.
Yateley: For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Sandhurst station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
Inside the roof space, we check what’s under the slates. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar.
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Stay off ladders and the roof
File the report with your other home documents. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Landlord and commercial surveys in GU46
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in GU46. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Common roof problems in GU46
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak, and it needs a different fix.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
Questions from GU46
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it is safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
What does a roof survey cost?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How long does a roof survey take?
On site, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
