Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Greywell
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, photographs and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. We are frequently asked to look into worn lead at chimneys and abutments and valley linings that have cracked or split, across the roof space, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Greywell, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Greywell can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. We will tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Roof surveys in Greywell: local notes
RAF Odiham is about 3 miles from Greywell. If your survey includes the drone, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions 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, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you own a rental within reach of Hook station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

FAQs for Greywell
Is my home in Greywell listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Are there drone restrictions around Greywell?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Greywell is about 3 miles from RAF Odiham, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Do you cover Greywell for roof surveys?
Yes, we do. Greywell is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How much does a roof survey cost in Greywell?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Do you need a roof survey in Greywell?
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack. Lead is also a target for theft.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Torn or sagging underlay
Take a building like Robert May's School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Leave it or get it looked at?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We check them before they cause trouble. In a place like Greywell, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
