How a roof survey works in RG24
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common. They’re included alongside the main roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof usually wears out sooner than a pitched one. Felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber can last 30 to 50. Typical surveys look at worn or blocked valleys and loose ridge or hip tiles, on the roof space, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles.
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof.
- 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.

Roof surveys across RG24: local notes
In RG24, our roof surveys work takes in owners, landlords and managing agents, in Basingstoke, Popley and Oakridge and well beyond. Each report sets out what was seen, with photos and recommendations.
Across London and South East England, older homes often have slate or clay tiles, while many later ones have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed extensions and dormers are common everywhere. That variety shapes every survey in RG24.
Basingstoke: If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Michael's Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Trees in and around Eastrop Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
What a survey does not cover
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- A structural engineer’s report
How we price roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How big the roof is
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before you book.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
To get a price for roof surveys in RG24, call 07833 053749 or email us. A few details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Keep the report with your property records
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. It’s a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Common questions in RG24
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
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.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
How much does a roof survey cost in RG24?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
