Roof survey in Hedgerley Green: what you get
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where it applies, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. If you’ve noticed slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space alike.
Some older homes in villages like Hedgerley Green are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older roofs in small places like Hedgerley Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

What we’re asked to look at in Hedgerley Green
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. They get particular attention in every survey.
Flat roof coverings
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We look at how the covering is wearing.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Hedgerley Green
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hedgerley Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Hedgerley Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Hedgerley Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Hedgerley Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
How long will you be at the property?
On site, it normally takes about one to two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Local roofs in Hedgerley Green
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
