Our roof survey service in GU52
We survey roofs in GU52 and across London and the South East. Visits run seven days a week. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you’re ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We survey chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are condensation or damp timbers in the loft and worn or blocked valleys.
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
What you’ll pay
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Homes and roofs across GU52
Across GU52, a good many older houses still have chimney stacks, used or not, and the lead and mortar around them need watching. Valleys, gutters and fixings follow close behind.
Across London and South East England, older homes frequently have slate or clay tiles, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Each roof in GU52 is checked with its age and materials in mind.
Church Crookham: With Farnham Castle about 3.5 miles south, the area around Church Crookham has a long history. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. Anyone responsible for a site like Velmead Junior School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
How we price roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How big the roof is
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Why roofs fail
Some damage starts inside the roof space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, wetting timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak, and it needs a different fix.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. 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. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs, and we note its condition.
For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Landlords and letting agents in GU52 book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
FAQs for GU52
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
What does a roof survey cost?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We do not provide structural calculations.
How do I arrange a roof survey in GU52?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
