How a roof survey works in Hatchet Green
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. If you are worried about slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why get it checked now?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Hatchet Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
For a price for roof surveys in Hatchet Green, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The address, the type of property and what you want to find out help us price the survey accurately.
Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted.
When to book a survey in Hatchet Green
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Before you book anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Hatchet Green homes and their roofs
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 often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses such as Breamore House, about 2.6 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Hatchet Green goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hale Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Questions from Hatchet Green
Is Hatchet Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Hatchet Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Hatchet 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 pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
