How a roof survey works in Four Marks
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. Typical surveys look at condensation or damp timbers in the loft and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, on lead flashings, the roof space and natural slate.
In a smaller place like Four Marks, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Prices for roof surveys in Four Marks
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Height and safe access
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Four Marks
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Anyone responsible for a site like Four Marks Church of England Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of the Good Shepherd, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Alton station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Why get it checked now?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. In a smaller place like Four Marks, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

Your questions about roof surveys in Four Marks
Do you cover smaller places like Four Marks?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Alton station book a roof survey?
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.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
How long will you be at the property?
Allow an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. For a survey in Four Marks, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
