Roof survey in Bordon
Our roof surveys cover Bordon and the wider 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. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us. If you are worried about lifted, split or missing lead flashings and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, we can find out what’s behind it.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Bordon drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Let us know about past leaks
- Photograph stains when they appear
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Homes around Bordon often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
Common questions in Bordon
Is my home in Bordon listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Bordon within the area you cover?
Yes, Bordon is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from ground level, windows and the loft space.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
We check the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we’ll say so.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Bordon
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time. Homes in smaller places like Bordon can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bordon
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark's Sacred Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Take a building like Bordon Infant School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What this survey cannot tell you
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Bordon
- Flat roofs
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- The roof space
- Chimney stacks
- Natural slate
- Lead flashings
What we’re asked to look at in Bordon
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Loose chimney pots
If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
