How a roof survey works in Cufaude
We survey roofs in Cufaude and across London and the South East. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us. If you’ve noticed worn or blocked valleys and standing water on a flat roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on chimney stacks, the roof space and lead flashings alike.
Some older homes in villages like Cufaude are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Can I check my roof myself?
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Rural addresses near Cufaude can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Common questions in Cufaude
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Cufaude?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
I let a flat near Bramley (Hants) station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it is safe. You get a report with photographs and recommendations.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Is Cufaude in your area?
Yes, we do. We carry out roof surveys in Cufaude.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
File the report with your other home documents. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Which survey package you book
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
What to let us know when you contact us
We’ll normally ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Worn or split lead lets water straight in, and lead is a target for theft.
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. We will tell you if the flue needs a specialist.

What a roof survey looks like in Cufaude
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Cufaude has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 0.9 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take a building like Bramley Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Shop and office owners around The Malls may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
