Our roof survey service in RG27

Our roof surveys cover RG27 and the wider South East. Visits run seven days a week. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We survey the roof space, chimney stacks and lead flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked mortar along the ridge and gutters that overflow in heavy rain.

We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.

  1. You pick the package that suits your roof.
  2. We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
  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. The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Local landmarks in Hook

We work in homes and buildings around Hook Junior School, Robert May's School and St John the Evangelist. There is a railway station in Hook itself: Hook station. Well-known places in the area include Odiham Castle (1.6 miles south) and West Green House Agricultural Museum (1.6 miles north-east). The countryside around Hook includes Tundry Hill and Dogmersfield Lake.

Homes and roofs across RG27

Homes across RG27 range from older properties with chimneys and lead flashings to newer houses with concrete tiles. Sooner or later, every roof needs its gutters, flashings and coverings checked.

Autumn and winter storms across the South East find any loose slate, tile or ridge. Ridges, verges and flashings in RG27 are where it normally shows.

Hook: With Stratfield Saye House about 4.8 miles north, the area around Hook has a long history. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. For landlords with property near Hook station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Checking the roof from the ground

A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.

During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

What affects the cost of roof surveys

Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:

  • Building height and the viewpoints available
  • The size of the roof
  • House, block, shop or office
  • If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone

Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Booking your survey

To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:

  • The kind of building and roof involved
  • Your timetable, such as an exchange date
  • Where the property is, with the postcode
  • Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

Signs you need a roof survey

Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors.

Things that frequently lead to a survey include:

  • Standing water on a flat roof
  • Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
  • Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
  • Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles

Landlord and commercial surveys in RG27

We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.

Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.

Before and after the survey

From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:

  • Make sure we can open the loft hatch
  • Let us know about past leaks
  • Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
  • Watch for slipped slates after bad weather

File the report with your other home documents. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.

Keep the roof space ventilated. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Check insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.

Your questions about roof surveys in RG27

How many surveys have you done?

We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.

Do you cover RG27 for roof surveys?

Yes, we do. RG27 is part of the area we cover.

How much does a roof survey cost in RG27?

Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.

Can you tell me how long my roof will last?

We don’t put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.

How do I arrange a roof survey in RG27?

The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.

Does this replace a RICS home survey?

No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.

Does the weather affect the survey?

It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
