How a roof survey works in Hampers Green
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends, so it is easy to find a day that suits. If you are worried about torn or sagging underlay and loose chimney pots, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate alike.
Somewhere as small as Hampers Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. A survey sets a baseline, which makes later changes easy to spot. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

What a roof survey looks like in Hampers Green
Historic houses such as Petworth House, about 0.6 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Hampers Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Petworth Cof E Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For an older house near a landmark such as The Church of St Mary the Virgin, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Pulborough station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep the report with your property records
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
We email the report to you, with photos of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words.
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.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Hampers Green, 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.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check 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 written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Questions from Hampers Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hampers Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Hampers Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
How much does a roof survey cost in Hampers Green?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes, and some have Kent peg tiles held by pegs. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move.
Flat roof coverings
Felt flat roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We check how the covering is wearing.
