About our pre-purchase roof survey in Pamber Green
Some roofs cannot be seen well from ground level or from windows. Our Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone inspection, along with a same-day report. Where a flight is not possible, because of airspace rules or the weather, we tell you and inspect from every other safe vantage point. Typical surveys look at blocked or leaking gutters and standing water on a flat extension roof, on natural slate, lead flashings and valleys and the roof space.
For a small place like Pamber Green, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Pamber Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You book once your offer is accepted and tell us the address and your timetable.
- Access is arranged through you, the agent or the seller.
- The roof is inspected from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Each part of the roof is examined and photographed.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations, ready for you to use before exchange.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Your questions about pre-purchase roof surveys in Pamber Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pamber Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Pamber Green in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Pamber Green is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Is your roof survey a RICS survey?
No. It’s a roof survey by an experienced roof surveyor, with a written report and photographs. It isn’t a RICS survey and doesn’t cover the rest of the house.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Tips that help
Getting the most from a pre-purchase roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Notice patches of new decoration in top-floor rooms
- Pass the findings to your conveyancer
- Tell us your exchange date when you book
- Check we will be able to get into the loft space
If the report shows work is needed, you can raise it with the seller or agent. Some buyers ask for repairs before completion, others ask for a change to the price. What happens next is your decision and the seller’s.
Keep the loft ventilated. Condensation in a roof space can look like a leak and can damage timbers over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents so air can move.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Even if you go ahead regardless, knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan. You will know which jobs are urgent and which can wait, so you can plan work before small faults get bigger. In a place like Pamber Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

Pre-purchase roof surveys in Pamber Green: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
The Vyne lies about 2.2 miles south-east, so building around Pamber Green goes back a long way. Buying a period property here means asking about the roof’s age and repairs, and about any listing or conservation area. Take an older house close to Saint Stephen's Church: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Do you need a pre-purchase roof survey in Pamber Green?
Flat roofs turn up on extensions, dormers, porches and garages. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and standing water, blisters and splits are typical signs of ageing. They’re easy to overlook on a viewing, particularly when they’re only visible from an upper floor.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Roof slopes that look uneven or sagging
- Damp timbers or stains in the loft
- Quick fixes on flashings and valleys
- Flashings that have lifted or split
If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
What affects the cost of pre-purchase roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
When you need someone else
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A structural engineer’s report
- A valuation or a promise of a lower price
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
