Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hascombe
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages often have flat roofs. They’re included alongside the main roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. Flat roofs often need attention long before the main roof, so they deserve a careful look. Felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber can last 30 to 50. We’re frequently asked to look into blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, across lead flashings, flat roofs and natural slate.
In a village or hamlet like Hascombe, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
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.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
FAQs for Hascombe
How do I find out if my home in Hascombe is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can a landlord with a rental near Milford (Surrey) station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
How long does the visit take?
It typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Report times depend on the package.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.
What does a roof survey include?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How soon is the report ready?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We send it by email.
Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges often cracks on tiled roofs. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar, as wind can lift them.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded.
Tips that help
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- File the report with your home documents
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.

What else we do in Hascombe
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Rural addresses near Hascombe can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Hascombe homes and their roofs
With Loseley Park about 4.8 miles north, Hascombe sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Landlords with a home close to Milford (Surrey) station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
