How we price roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The size of the roof
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Basic, Standard or Premium
All our prices include VAT. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in East Meon
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We are frequently asked to look into cracked mortar along the ridge and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and lead flashings.
Village roofs often 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What this survey cannot tell you
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future

Roof surveys in East Meon: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
The streets around a church like Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For landlords with property near Petersfield station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Anyone responsible for a site like East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
East Meon is about 4 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. East Meon is part of the area we cover across London and South East England. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small. Portsmouth is in our area too.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near East Meon can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book

Advice
Useful tips for East Meon property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Mention any damp patches when you book
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.
Common questions in East Meon
Do you cover smaller places like East Meon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Meon?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
What does a roof survey include?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it is safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
How long does a roof survey take?
Allow an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. In a place like East Meon, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. That is why we look at them closely.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles.
