Your questions about roof surveys in Exton
Do you cover smaller places like Exton?
Yes, Exton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Exton in the area you cover?
Yes, Exton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Exton as anywhere else.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We do not give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Exton?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Exton
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. Common reasons to book are condensation or damp timbers in the loft and loose chimney pots, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and natural slate.
In a small place like Exton, many roofs stand in the open, 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Roof surveys in Exton: local notes
Historic houses like Hinton Ampner House, about 4.2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Exton goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What else we do in Exton
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, it usually takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere as small as Exton, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. 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.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles, and some have Kent peg tiles held by pegs. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move.
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber frequently lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Let us know about past leaks
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
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.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
What this survey cannot tell you
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- The roof space
- Flat roofs
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Lead flashings
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Natural slate
- Chimney stacks
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Anything about access we should know
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
