Roof surveys for homes and businesses in East Cholderton
We survey roofs in East Cholderton and across London and South East England. Visits run on any day of the week. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear 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 send us an email. We survey natural slate, lead flashings and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Useful tips for East Cholderton property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Photograph stains when they appear
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Keep the loft space ventilated. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Check insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.

What else we do in East Cholderton
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere as small as East Cholderton, access is frequently 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.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.

Local roofs in East Cholderton
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Amport Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

East Cholderton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like East Cholderton?
Yes, East Cholderton is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is my home in East Cholderton listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
When will the report arrive?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. It’s emailed to you.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Why it’s worth a survey now in East Cholderton
It’s easier to plan roof work than to react to it. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm. In a small place like East Cholderton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- An independent view of the roof
- 98% customer satisfaction
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
