Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Church Crookham
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are worn lead at chimneys and abutments and gutters that overflow in heavy rain.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What a roof survey looks like in Church Crookham
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Farnham Castle, about 3.5 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Church Crookham. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Fleet Spiritualist Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Homes near green spaces like Basingbourne Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Your questions about roof surveys in Church Crookham
Do you cover smaller places like Church Crookham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Church Crookham?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
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 long does a roof survey take?
Allow roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We will give you an idea of timing when booking.
What do you check on a roof survey?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it is safe. You get a report with photos and recommendations.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep the report with your property records
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Stay off ladders and the roof
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
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 around your tenants.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Church Crookham. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as Church Crookham, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
How to prepare
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Prices for roof surveys in Church Crookham
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
Getting in touch
We’ll typically ask about:
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
